Title: Games of Thrones
Post by: Almass on August 12, 2016, 17:23:33

Games of Thrones

I just like to mention Helen Sloan.

Helen is the official stills photographer for Games of Thrones.
She shoots with a D3 -  D3s + (Blimp) - D800 and a DF. Her main lenses are the 24/70 and the 85 + 50 and 14/24.

Helen Sloan was named Nikon Ambassador in June 2016.

Thanks for the link, as that was an interesting story (sure would have liked an F3 as a gift) !

Interesting read. I wondered what the:  "my first decent NIKKOR – it was the 50mm f/4" was,    but that's probably a typo     ;)

Thanks for the link

It should be fantastic to work with such level of production, I'm amaze how careful is the lightning on most of the scenes.

Almass, thanks for the link to the interesting article.

A blimp containing D3 and 24-70 zoom should weigh tons!

Helen uses the Jacobson Sound Blimp= 1.4kg. I am not sure if she also has an Aquatech Sound Blimp as well.

So yes, a D3 + 24/70 + Blimp and tube is quite a heavy set up
