Overkill? (Nikon D5000 w/Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF VR), originally uploaded by mark.mortensen.

My wife wanted a better camera than her point and shoot. She tried a Canon G10 but still wanted more. So I picked up a Nikon D5000 and then attached my Nikkor 70-200mm. She was immediately hooked. This looks a bit crazy with the tiny camera body attached to the hugh lens. I think it would be great to get an image of the D5000 attached to the Nikkor 200-400mm.

Technical Ramblings: Shot on top of my art table and lit with a daylight balanced fluorescent light from above. Only Lightroom post; cropped, vibrance and clarity boost.

Was asked yesterday by my real job DaVita to grab a head shot of another teammate. Michele’s group provides business consulting services to doctors.

Technical Ramblings: This image is natural light. Only post work in Lightroom included; my Nikon standard profile calibration, sharpening, a tad of fill light to lift the shadows, clarity and vibrance punch.
