how about this?
It's really nice.
Mercedes sls
But, hang on
I've got something a bit more exciting.
nikon d seven thousand
probably one of the most anticipated cameras for a long time from the comp
with this camera
Now, this camera is more for the enthusiast photographer, somebody who's had a little time taking pictures
and wants something more from their cameras
who wants to be challenged by the camera itself and not just the pictures
you're actually able to take creatively.
and this bit really reflects that.
Now this is apsc camera and not a full frame
but, you've got a change from Nikon again, they've really pumped up
their ability to capture pixels at sixteen point two mega pixels
So really up-ing the game now with picture quality
Nikon are very careful about talking about image quality, image
quality.
Rather than just purely pixel counts and pixel densities
and of kind of a race to see who can get the most pixels on an iso.
But, there are other specs too, for example the top of the camera itself, magnesium plating.
uh... on the uh... the back as well, so this cameras been really well designed with
the magnesium alloy plating and weather seal,
to be taken outside by the enthusiast photographer.
in terms of other things that are interesting with his camera in terms of
spec
you've got six frames a second shooting,
you've got a nine stop iso.
so that goes from one hundred iso
to twenty five thousand six hundred, a massive massive range.
and getting up there with their top spec pro cameras.
You've also got, er an active d-lighting which is also very important with six frames a second
shooting.
thirty-nine
uh... auto-focus points spread out across the frame.
it's really important if you're being creative and pushing things to the frame, using wide apertures.
you've got a lot of in-camera menu options and the ability to have lot's of
accessories for the camera.
what this camera is really about is
starting
from the base, you know, aperture priority, shutter priority mode, and really working your way up
through the camera and through it's potential. and from anything from the inter-valve-o-meter
were you can do time frame shots
to extremely long exposures, you can put a Gps
on it. You've got a nice big three inch
LCD screen on the back, which has nine hundred and twenty dot's in it which
you can really zoom in and
start to see
the detail in the fourteen bit raw's that it can shoot so lot's of
depth on it too.
over all this is a very very
highly spec'd camera.
The thing is,
that it's twelve hundred pounds with a standard kit lens which is eighteen to one o' five
Vr
It's not a cheap camera.
but i think the people who
are going to be able to spend that money are going to have demands that really
this camera can meet. So,
let's take a look at some of the detail shall we?
okay
now probably one of the
most fundamental elements about this camera which people have interested in is
it's high iso ability.
now i wanted to show you an example, we're in this sort of
mid-afternoon
in winter and the lighting is well as you'd expect really quite dowl
It's raining and horrible outside.
so what i'm going to do is, i'm going to set the camera to F eighteen priority mode
at one hundred iso. and as i point this at this absolutely gorgeous sls here
i'm going to focus on the line.
I've got a very slow exposure.
I've got the camera shaking. But what i'll do now, is do exactly the same thing i did again.
Focus on pretty much the same thing,
change that to timer release, so i don't actually touch the camera you've got to get
your technique right, yeah.
off i go.
It's on a ten second timer, that's one of the things you can actually change about the camera itself.
two, ten it's programmed different.
There, I've got the perfect
absolutely great shot here. Now but what i'm going to do
is take it off,
and just move this tripod out of the way.
i'm staying in the same position to show you, and i'm going to push the iso all the way up
here.
Now i can go,
as high as i want, all the way up to the twenty five thousand
six hundred itself but i'm going to go six thousand four hundred instead.
Now, the shutter speed I've got now is one hundred
and sixtieth F eight.
So, an absolutely perfect shot, no shake whatsoever at one hundred sixtieth at F eight
in these sort of lighting conditions, absolutely amazing. So that's quite and ability from the camera.
so let's move on to another very important point to the camera, certainly if you're at an
enthusiast level, let's look at the thirty-nine
auto-focus points.
okay
so what I've done is I've moved position here to show you the effect
of what having thirty-nine auto-focus points can help you with.
obviously waving the camera around free hand it doesn't matter too much
but certainly locked onto a tripod, what i've got here is like an arch of cars
and i'm going to set up a very wide aperture
F one point eight, and what it will do when i shoot the pictures, is it
will go from car one to car two to car three
but the distances
without moving the camera, all i'm doing is using the focus point.
you can get very different images and
certainly if you want to shoot something
in the foreground nice and wide angle and have the leading lines, going off
then you can pick your point in the frame, and shoot various different points as you go.
It's quite an important thing so there you go.
first thing i do, bottom right hand side is this,
so i'm focusing on
the red light on this sls Mercedes here.
take the shot.
okay, now i'm going to move that across
focus on the back on car number two, on the number plate.
and then car number three on the very back of the shot.
And that gives me the three shots.
and this will show you
more af points, you haven't got to move the camera around so much.
you can really pick your leading lines, your
points of focus.
Of course the thing about picking your point of focus is
it really affects your depth of field.
when you've got your
beautiful landscape with a bolder leading off, you can really pick your point much
much more precisely much more carefully and for those people who want to get most
of the camera being precise
using the tools that your camera has, it can really make a difference of course.
