New Nikon D3 camera and old fav's

News of Nikon's new D3 immediately sprung thoughts of finally being able to move to a camera with a (almost) full sensor. For me the perspective of shooting with (Nikon) digital camera's has always felt awkward; the 1.5x 'magnification' just doesn't work for me. Give me a 135mm lens and let it be just that.
I brought out my Nikon F5 this weekend, used a roll of recently purchased Fuji Pro S 160 film for a friends photo shoot. What an exhilarating (yes, exhilarating) experience! The results were quite out of this world! Paired with the Nikon 135 DC F2 lens the combo is flawless...

So, I will shoot film! I will just process negs to CD using a cheap service and then scan only the individual images I want (in higher resolution). Yes that means I will have to also purchase a film scanner. Is that so bad? :)

With the news that new film emulsions are being produced; that film has just as much a place as digital; I am certain that we will find a renewed interest in this media. People will say "Let's do the 'retro' thing!"

This is atleast true until i get my hands on a D3! Time will tell...

and be on the look out for some of the images from this session....

Lunch & Dinner

Isn't it weird when you eat lunch and dinner at two different places and the total comes out to the same $ amount? Weird.. it happened to me just the other day.
