D700 First Few Shots - in the garage!

With everyone getting new bodies, I think that separate section for you to proudly display your first image from your new acquisition is in order.

This applies to brand new bodies, as well as bodies that are simply newly acquired by you.

Just a few to show how well this baby performs in low light/high ISO's...

My bike: (ISO 3200 F3.5)
Image

Combination lock: (ISO 3200 F4.0)
Image

Bike ignitiion: (ISO 2000 F3.5)
Image

Rear of the bike: (ISO 2000 F1.4)
Image

And last but not least my beautiful fiance, a somewhat reluctant test model (ISO 5000!!)

Yeah I'm pretty happy right now Yi-p. I work hard, and I play harder :)
The D700 will be somewhat of a workhorse for me though...SMP is picking up quite nicely at the moment.

Geoff, excellent stuff and congratulations on the new purchase.

The images, once again, show the capability of the new series of cameras in the right hands!
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Geoff.

Your a kid in a candy store right?
Pictures are sharp as.

I can't wait to get my hands on that baby (VTR250) tonight. I promise not to "trash your bike" like I trashed mine... BTW, where is the duck shot?

Cheers

Awesome shots, the D700 really does treat high ISOs as if they were not. Blown away yet again by the ability of this camera.

Nice shots.

Hey did you pay extra for the number plate? Pretty cool to be zooming around with the Answer on your tail......

NIce images..

I bought my wife eternity rings and in the moment she gave me permission to buy the D700 :D .. But I waited to long to tell her that I will have to replace all my DX lenses with FX stuff....So I'm back to square 1 :roll:

These images dont help.. Thansk for sharing. The 700 looks the business.

This is what I really hate about this forum.

It generates way too much gear lust :roll:
