Title: Carnival
Post by: Rick Waldroup on August 16, 2017, 01:50:58: Carnival - Fort Worth, Texas - May 5, 2007

For those interested, it was shot with a Nikon D1x. Not sure about the lens.

The decisive moment springs to mind ....I keep going back to look at the image as I type, it really is a visual workout. Fabulous!

Cheers

Wonderful timing and framing.
It just goes to show that if you know what you are doing, you can achieve it even with a D1x.

I shot a D1x and D2H combo for years. They were superb cameras back in the day.... 8)

I loved my D1Xs,,,,

I think I am enjoying my relatively new Nikon Df so much because it reminds me of shooting with my D1x and D2H several years ago.
