Success! More pictures

Nora and I played in what was left of the snow. I had a chance to break out the camera with the AF-S VR lens and practice some manual focusing. I’m thrilled with the results.


Nora afforded a slight smile after dancing in the snow. F/6.3, 1/160, ISO-200

Nora was trying to see her breath. F/5.6, 1/125, ISO-400

And per Lisa’s request…

Not Denby’s finest moment.

The VR AF-S lens is very sharp. Still not a fan of the focus ring, but I absolutely love the half-stops and it has some excellent detail. The first picture came out on the cyan side. My screen isn’t color calibrated, so I may have added too much magenta to compensate. My hands were absolutely frozen after taking 25 shots. I can’t wait for nicer weather.

  1. The second picture is my favorite. I want to blow it up and frame it.
