Capture This, Photography

But they are not blueberries. I don't know what these are but the bright colors really caught my eye. This is the last of the shots from Sandy Hook...for now...maybe.

ETA...I've been busting at the seems because I just got a new camera this past Saturday...A Full Frame Nikon D700...Wow! What a great camera! I do a lot of very low light handheld photography for orchestras at ISO 1600 with my D200. The results have usually been pretty good but I've wanted better. Well now I have it. I haven't had time to really get out and use it since I have been busy processing photos from the assignment I was on last week, but tonight I had to take my youngest to his orchestra rehearsal so I thought I might just try a couple of shots to see how well it works in very low light at high ISOs. I can report that it performs well beyond what I had hoped for. You can see an example of a shot I took in the dimly lit rehearsal space in the basement of a church shot at ISO 6400, 1/125 second @ f 2.8 handheld with ZERO post processing by clicking here. This is just a quick snap I took and it is only an email quality JPEG that I exported from Lightroom without any post processing.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

...or is it beached pallet? I shot this one at the North end of Sandy Hook. I saw this odd thing from quite a distance and thought it was a crate of some sort when I first saw it. I had to go investigate and found this pallet randomly stuck in the sand. I'm not sure how or why it was stuck in the sand like that.
