As I posted earlier, my new rig came today. I was so excited all day that I constantly found myself getting annoyed at everything. All I could think about was how bad I wanted to be home clicking away!

The D700 is amazing. Couple it with the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 lens and they both come alive. After looking at the first few photos, I was so impressed with quality of the images. I couldn’t be happier. Well, if I could find someone to trade me a Nikon Fisheye for my Canon Fisheye, then I might could be happier.

I have a ton to read about this camera to really unleash it’s potential, but for my first shots I felt pretty comfortable. The hardest part so far is getting used to the menus and dials. Canon had a main wheel that rotated to navigate with a center button for selecting. Nikon uses a “joystick” and button, which I think after time will be easier but right now it is a learning curve.

On with the pictures…

My [soon-to-be] old setup. I’m gonna miss ‘er!

Know anyone who wants a Canon-mount Sigma 15mm Fisheye?

 

Keeping my feet planted and shins bloody for over a decade!

 

One way to setup the flashes. I would normally have some type of white stock for the background.
