Today it is exactly 25 - twenty five - years since I had my first serious field testing of the then new and game-changing Nikon D1. At the time, I had used the camera [pre-production sample] a few times already, but this now was my own copy of it .... One of out the very first small batch to arrive in Norway.I quickly learned that battery capacity under cold winter conditions was abysmal, thus pit stops for coffee while awaiting a hastily acquired car charger did its best to revitalise the sad battery became second-nature habit. Rethinking how one set up lenses was another aspect and in many ways different from my then current work-horse, the F5.My stock library loved the images so the future looked rosy red. Little did I know about the hurdles lying in wait ahead. The image is the fern Polypodium vulgare covered in freshly fallen snow, taken with the Nikkor-PC 85mm f/2. Today, as that day 25 years ago, it is snowing heavily. I feel like I've been through a time leap. It is likely I would have ended up with almost the same image today.
Great monochrome
