[Theme] How about photographers in action ?

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Actually it was the D3 ... The camera split into the duo D3S and D3X a little later, both models of which are still in use..

On that SA trip, I used D3 D3, D3X, and D200. Just checked my archives.

[Erik Lund]

I borrowed your D3X in SA on the balloon flight and the camera over your shoulder has the speaker symbol,,, never mind

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Erik, nothing escapes your eagle eye I stand corrected. And should have known better

A renewed search in the data base disclosed that I indeed had a D3X with me on that trip besides the D3, and the D3 was yet to be replaced with the D3S. The latter model swap occurred a few months later.

Here a shot with the camera that even fits the thread

Jan Anne shooting the 16mm 3.5 against the rising sun over Blide River Canyon - Having the extra pixels really does a lot when you loose so much area of the sensor with a Circular Fisheye,,,

And Jakov happily both feet on the ground again, same flight

A "ghost" photographer in action. As she used a Sony with a Pentax (Takumar) lens, and I shot the scene with a Tamron 21 on my Nikon, I guess the gear diversity angle is fully covered

(this is a false-colour UV image in case anyone wonders, and the shrub with yellow flowers is Gorse Ulex europaeus)

Erik, that is a very cool grab...lots going on  .  Did the sprinkler system suddenly catch JA off guard    ?

Thats actually Jakovic jumping the puddle, and Jakovic is never caught off guard, he won't allow it

I am the one in the balloon test-driving the D3 and 16/3.5 fish, shortly after the safari I sold all my safari gear (D300, D700, 200-400, 70-200, etc) and bought the D3s and a nice set of primes lenses like the 16/3.5 and 200/2VR.

The image is perfect for the "Emergency Exit" sign!

[Jakov Minić]

Erik caught me brilliantly avoiding the muddy road. It seems as though the sprinklers were making me run thanks to his composition
Those photos depict very special moments to me!

[Erik Lund]

Thanks, yes a very special get-together!
