Testing the Nikon D7000

These shots are from the first two weeks with the D7000. An odd assortment, hopefully showing performance in different shooting situations.

This is one half of a poster hanging in my office.  This and the next few shots were snapped from my desk, about 15 feet away, and at an angle.  It was evening, and I don't remember if I used the flash or not.  So, overall, not very interesting as far as learning what the camera can do.<br />

  • This fan was given to me by one of my employees.  In the folds are her favorite quotations from my weekly Jokes and Quotes sheet.  The other side has the translation, but if interested, befriend a Chinese person and get them to translate it for you.  <br />

Honestly, for all I know it says that I am a jerk.
  • Pikes peak from County Line Road (about 40 miles away), shot with my 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens.
  • Same shot, same place, only shot with a wide-angle lens.
  • My back yard, a Robin at the bird bath.
  • A different Robin waiting for his turn at the bird bath.  It's a little over-exposed.  I should have spot-metered right on the bird, or maybe compensated a bit.
  • A Black Bird voicing its evening prayers.
  • A shot looking West from my deck showing the Earth Shine on the Moon.  It shows the Moon face illuminated by the reflection of light from the Earth.  <br />

This is one of those shots I would not have tried with my other cameras.
  • Same shot zoomed in a bit.
  • This is fairly close to what my eye saw when I walked out.
  • This is Pikes Peak as seen from Woodland Park.  The road is I-24, heading West.
  • This is a panorama from five shots.
  • This is a 200mm zoom of the peak.  You can see the visitor center at the peak.
  • I had never seen one of these guys here (Belted Kingfisher).  I saw this as I was taking a short drive on some of the back roads around the Greenland Open Space.
  • I did not have my long lens with me, and when I tried to get closer, it flew off.
  • I like this shot, but the exposure for Pikes peak is a bit high.  I could not be bothered to fix it.
  • Our office has a number of skeleton view of planes hanging from our walls.
  • This happens to be a PC-12 (Pilatus).  I was looking at it a few years ago as I waited to talk to someone, and I noticed something odd.
  • Can you see it yet?
