great  series

Jakov,
I love your report and photos. I love #1, the camels, the underwater photos. So basically all of them.
I am not bothered by their sharpness. ;-)
The underwater photos bring back good memories from my diving days in Egypt. Have you been diving too?
I now know I should buy me a Nikon AW1 too.

#3 - best apple shot ever
Underwater pics are nice.

John Geerts, thank you. I am freezing now too.

David Paterson, you know all about cool series, thanks.

MFloyd, your version is much better, thanks!

Thanks Akira, you know how much I like to free my mind. I don't know about NX-D.

Thanks, Woodley. My zodiac sign is Libra, perhaps that has something to do with scale

Erik, please don't suffocate, thanks. 

Thomas Stellwag, thanks.

PeterN, thanks. I am sure I have some blurry ones somewhere for you and Bruno
I didn't dive and I am not really attracted to it. I prefer flying.
The AW1 is so much fun and it really delivers. I don't use it that much, but when I do, it's irreplaceable. Perhaps AW2 is around the corner for the 100th jubilee? Although I really miss a fish-eye.

ThomasG, thank. When they told me that I could just drop the entire apple in the camel's mouth I was surprised until I saw the size of the jaw wide open. The D750 and 20/1.8 really helped me in getting the image. I was as close as I could possibly be

Just to advertise the AW1 a bit more. Here are two images that I already posted in another thread, but they belong here

You all ready know - That last one is just so cool, makes any father want to buy an AW1  You should enter that one in Nikons 'underwater-competition' if they have one.

[MFloyd]

Beautiful picture of your daughter.  If it was mine, I would certainly put it in my yearly top ten. Again, I couldn't refrain to do my proper edit https://flic.kr/p/RWX8CE

Jakov, seems it was a fantastic week, thanks for sharing your images

now ... jumping to amazon to check the aw1

[Jakov Minić]

Erik, thank you so much, I really appreciate your words! If there is an underwater contest, let me know

MFloyd, thanks again for showing me the advantages of the "de-hazing" tool. It's not as prominent in swimming pools

Armando, you won't regret it! Thanks!

Appart from my AW1 selfie with the kids, I have a yoga image. There I was lying in the stretcher/bed next to the pool reading my book but was bothered by the pretty strong wind. I decided to provide shelter to my sensitive body by setting one upright. Then I realised the shadow that was falling on it from my foot. Of course I liked it and I took an image at first with my other mirror-less camera, my smartphone. I liked it so much that I picked up my DSLR that had my favorite lens attached to it, the 85/1.4 AF-D. I took a couple of images of the shadow image of my foot, but then I decided to spice it up, hence the yoga attribute. Hopefully nobody was watching me performing the act

I felt safe 

[Jakov Minić]

Hence, no worries

Bored in the bus 

[Akira]

Nice one, Jakov!

[MFloyd]

I love ❤️ the the two pictures on reply #22; #24 is the proof that you don't always produce blurry pictures 😎.  Why I (we) don't see your EXIFs ?

[brent_e]

Speechless,,, Where to start,,,

Your images suck - the air out of my words   

 

Nice photos, Jakov!

Your camel needs some dental care, perhaps?


that AW1 works like a champ! 

[Jakov Minić]

Thank you, Akira.

MFloyd, thanks. I believe that the EXIF disappears when I save the images for web. The images with the military tower were shot with the 85/1.4 from a moving bus, hence the shutter speeds must have been around 1/1250 @f/5.6 and ISO 100.

All images with the AW1 were made with the kit lens zoom. 
All non-amphibian images were made with the D750.
The lenses used are, 10.5 DX, 20/1.8 AF-S, 40 micro DX, 85/1.4 AF-D and 300/4.5 AiS.
For this trip I left the 45P at home and shot without any problems the 40 micro DX on a full frame camera. At close range vignetting is barely visible. I am sure I have a blurry one somewhere, in fact the last one is blurry

Thanks, Brent! My camel is a bad-ass waiting for tin implants
