    Hi Everybody. Here is a 7 min documentary I shot using an AF100 / Nikon 28-70mm with available lighting and a small soft light. I'm a big fan of this camera. This is a personal project about an interesting man (the guy who cuts my hair) named Jack and his shop Minsky's. I was moving fast...

    Lighting Family Dinner Table

    Hello, The dinner shoot had to be abandoned because of uncontrolled lighting. I rolled off some examples to show. Basically I turned up the iso to 800 and shot a f2 to get reasonable exposure on the subjects. Was hoping for an overcast day but direct sunlight hit the shades and turned them...

    Direct Sunlight - Scene File Recommedation

    D800E - Moire pattern on video

    I'm considering buying this camera. I know that the absence of a "low-pass" filter may increase the likelihood of moire when shooting stills. Will this also increase the likelihood of moire on video as well? Thanks in advance.
