Family by the River

In my previous posts I talked about my walk to my friend Toshi Nagai's photo shop. He recenly bought a AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED, of which I am completely jealous. Anyway! He had a AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED lens sitting out and I asked if I could try it out on my D60. He said sure so I slapped it on and went outside his shop to shoot a few photos. This is what I got.

Full Zoom

This lens isn't a DX format lens so it's about a 1.5x focal length.

Panning

I try my best to remember the things I learn but it's tough. Some things only come with experience. I've been practicing panning shots with a slower shutter speeds to get a motion blur effect with the subject in focus as this photo. It was a spur of the moment type thing. I dialed up the aperture to get the slower shutter speed and took the shot. One thing that I notice about this lens is its auto focus is very fast. The next shot proves this. While I was shooting things across the river on the other side, I switched back to the side I was on, dialed back down the aperture and took this shot.

These last few photos were something I thought would be nice but they weren't really that nice. But, I thought I would share them with you anyways. It was a pretty bird, but I thought I could have done better.

After returning his lens, it was lunch time and I headed out to walk back home. We had plans to go out in the afternoon to take some photos which I posted here. When I left, the crane was still there and I decided to take some more shots using my 55-200mm f/4.0-5.6 zoom lens, which I'll share in my next post.
