D90 Field Test

Sweet Peek Nikon D90

Pro Photographer Chase Jarvis got the opportunity to put the not-yet-released Nikon D90 through its paces on the rough streets of Seattle and a professional shoot in the dry desert of central Washington. Chase's photographs can be seen gracing the pages of Bike, Mountain bike Review, Powder as well as other publications I don't read.

Chase Jarvis : Advanced Testing The Nikon D90

Chase's own words:

"Woot! Today I get to be among the very first to share with you the planet’s newest camera: the much-anticipated Nikon D90. You may have been attuned to all the recent leaks, buzz and rumors of a new Nikon camera coming soon, but I can assure you, this here ain’t no rumor. It’s the real deal and I know so because my crew and I spent several weeks testing and experimenting with this gem months in advance of today’s release, and our efforts make up the launch campaign. Hold onto your chairs for a second as I drop a few nuggets."

If you’re at all curious to see actual 1000px detail shots of the camera, sample images, technical specs, and hear the backstory behind what a Nikon D3 pro like yours truly was doing with a D90 camera targeted to advanced amateurs, click ‘continue reading’ .

The winner of the June/July monthly challenge is...

Congratulations to sduford for winning the June/July 2008 monthly challenge with his entry titled The Old Bus.

The June/July monthly challenge with the theme "Green" was another close one with 27 entries from 9 photographers. sduford came out on top with a great rating of 8.4. Keeping with our tradition sduford will get to select the theme for the next challenge for August/September 2008. Look for the chosen theme to be posted in The Official August-September 2008 Monthly Challenge Thread. Congratulations to all who entered and we look forward to more great entries in the next challenge.

EXIF Data:
Camera: Canon Powershot SD870 IS
Exposure: 1/400 sec at F/2.8
ISO Speed: 80
Focal Length: 4.6mm (28mm equivalent)

A few words from the photographer:
I was walking the dog and decided to take just my P&S camera because the weather was threatening. I walked by this bus at least a hundred times before and never really looked at it. But because this month's theme was "green", and the bus is painted in a green camouflage, I decided to take a closer look at it. I took about 10 shots from different angles, and this was my favourite composition. The light was a little harsh but I was able to fix the blown areas in Lightroom 2 while keeping the sharp contrast.
