p.3 #1 · Your Best Nikon shots.

Wow, spectacular shots guys and girls! Thanks for everyone contributing. Ok, I've gotten an insatiable apetite for the photos on this thread, so I'm thinking rule change. How about a photo or two EVERY DAY! I'm up for it if you guys are.

I know, its impossible to pick a best shot, so we'll call them some of our favourites!

This is a great thread! So many great photos. The first shot of Sydney is spectacular!

Rebecca, thanks for the compliment, but I'm embarrased considering the quality of the photos here, include your great candid portrait. It shows so much spirit and emotion. My friend takes similar photos on her travels and I never tire of seeing them.

How the heck do you pick your favorite shots? Man, I can't do it. I tend to choose photos I like based on the time it was taken and not the photographic merit, so maybe that's my mistake, but here's a few that I enjoy right now anyway...

"Sunset on Miami" from our Cruise in February. D70s with 18-200VR, shot leaving Miami on the cruise ship...

This image is copyrighted by the owner

"Grand Cayman Shore". Again, D70s with 18-200VR, shot on the shoreline of Grand Cayman Island, and again more because of the time I had there than photographic quality...

This image is copyrighted by the owner

"Cruising Grand Cayman". D200 with 10.5mm fisheye, which captures some amazing blues and yellows - and this shot floored me with colors...

This image is copyrighted by the owner

I know, I'm way over the 2-shot quota, but this one - "Game winner" - is one of my favorites for sure. It isn't by ANY stretch the best hockey photo I've taken, but I love it because it's a high point in my young son's playing career so far and it shows... the game winner from a tournament this past year... D200 with 70-200VR...

PWC ... how do you like your 35-70? I have found to my surprise that it is one of the best lenses I have. Great at 2.8.

Pavel, I love it. Of all the lenses I have, I find the ones I use the most are the 20-35 f2.8 AF-D, 35-70 f2.8 AF-D and the older style (no tripod mount) 80-200 f2.8 AF-D. They are all sharp and clear, built really well and have worked well for a long time. I had purchased them when they first came out and have been using them trouble free ever since. They also work quite well on the D200 and Fuji, so I have not needed to purchase any of the digital lenses.

Heres one I took a while ago..
I don't know if its my best, but I like it..

It was rather dark and hand held at 200mm ISO 1600.. I didn't have a tripod as they aren't allowed inside of the tombs for some reason.. So I propped it against a railing and hoped for the best

I was really surprised how good the shots come through on the not very popular 35-70. Personally I love the push pull, though most prefer two touch.
I am looking at the 20-35 f 2.8 next. I have a 20 f2.8 but to be truthful I've always been underwhelmed by that one (oh well, win some - lose some

) I want to find a good clean copy and am crossing my fingers that I happen to get one as good as the 35-70 in terms of f2.8 performance.
Did you know that supposedly the 20-35 was over 1,600 dollars when new? So now at about $600 or less for a decent used one ... it seem like a decent choice, don't you think?

Sorry to hijack ...

I just got the 35-70 as well and am find it to be an excellant lens! I got it for a wedding I shot this past weekend since I decided to shoot in film and all of my wide-mid gear was in digital format.

This is essentially one photo...

And there is also this one...probably my all time favorite:

That leopard is amazing....
I also love the shot of the old lady on the street. Great stuff!

Thanks Pavel. Most of my photos are PJ work on assignments (like 99% of what I posted up there was). For me, its more about have many styles as to not bore myself.

First to Rodolfo: THAT P51 SHOT IS PRICELESS. The plane truly looks like it is longing to be in the air. Reminds me of my lab on lake shore wanting so bad to be out swimming.

Here is one I like from this year. I was going to post this whole series from an ORV rally but decided not to. I hate political threads so I opted out. I like the capitol builiding in the shot. D200 with the 18-70 lens.

I've been a big fan of the 35-70 since buying my first nikon. Dunno about the 20-35 and would like to see your impressions if you find a good one.

As penance for the hijack, here's a couple more shots, one with the 35-70.

Dunno how great this shot is, but I like it a lot and I've sold quite a few copies.

It's Detroit's skyline, shot from the Windsor, Canada side of the Detroit River.
