Nikon D7100: First Shots

I picked up my Nikon D7100 on launch day 14th March, and then this weekend was able to get out, despite the weather for some shots with it.

I got the camera from my local independant shop in Perth, JRS Photo Hardware - as it was £100 cheaper than online.


Here it is with the Sigma 150-500 and 2.0x adaptor attached:




On the Saturday, in the rain, I went out to capture some Perthshire Amateur Leage Football Action. These few pictures were all taken with the Sigma 70-200 2.8 attached. It was worth going out for as one of the pictures was published in the local paper today in their coverage of the weekend's football.

 Please note as well, that all the pictures are reduced in quality pre-upload, just so it doesn't take as long! To see the photos in their original size, then go to my gallery - link at the bottom.

On the Sunday, something slightly different, went out for pictures of Tayside Fire and Rescue and Tayside Police as they conducted a river search for a missing person.

These shots were also taken with the 70-200 attached, but a couple were taken with the Sigma 150-500, which is a truly excellent lens. I also decided to see what like results I could get with the Sigma 150-500 with the extra 1.3x crop mode on the D7100 which reduces the quality to 15.4mp, but allows an increase to 7fps, and the full 51 point focus across the cropped area.

I'll be using the D7100 as my main camera, along with my trusty D300, and so keep checking back to see more images taken with it. You can subscribe via email by using the links on the right.
