Hometown:: CT

About Me:: I have always had a love affair with photos. There is something about capturing the moment that has always appealed to me. I am not a professional and have no formal training, but hope to get some when I retire in 2008.

Gear: Nikon D300, Nikon 18-200mm VR lens, Nikon 55mm, and a Sigma macro lens (need to check the specs). I also have the SB 800 flash unit.

At 1:14pm on December 8th, 2007, Bill G said…: Yes, definitely please with the Live View feature... Also found a nice trick... There is a setting in the shooting menu that will delay the shutter for 1sec after taking the shot so that mirror slap will disappear. Also, if you activate the Mirror Up setting the camera will make an exposure automatically if you haven't done so yourself. This would be like shooting with the self-timer. I have added a few chapel images tonite that were done with this technique. Should work great with your flowers.

I have always been plagued by camera shake and have found the VR18-200 and incredible help for handheld shots down to around 1/15s which have never been usable for me before. I photograph lots of people but haven't used the D300 yet for this which is why I haven't posted any yet.

No snow yet here in CT. But this being New England that can change in the blink of an eye. Do you currently have snow where you are?

It seems you have also worked your way through a series of Nikons. I started with one of their very early digitals and owned 6 Coolpix models and the D200 and now the D300.

What do you think of the D300? How do you like the 18 - 200 mm VR lens?

Good luck with your photo shoot.
