short takes: a gift!

[ A Nikon D S L R sits on my bed, the case behind it. It’s obviously been through some stuff, but it looks like it’s still in good shape. ]

Not even a Giftmas gift — it’s a ‘I’m not using it so what the hell’ gift, from a friend who knows how vital good product pictures are to anyone who sells things online.

Not that I’m using it yet, I still need to get an SD card reader, & then figure out the bells & whistles — there are a LOT of bells & whistles, & the last time I used a camera anywhere NEAR this complicated, they hadn’t invented digital cameras yet.

I’ll get there, though. Thank you, Larisa, you ROCK!

Downloaded it, haven't yet had the brain to actually LOOK at it.

Nice gift!

Remember when shooting in the snow, +1 to +2 overexposure compensation is needed.  The light meter by default wants to produce 18% gray tones, without overexposing, snow turns to gray.  You can do this through manual exposure, exposure bracketing, or exposure compensation.  But I don't shoot Nikon, so you'll have to consult the manual and figure it out.  Just remember to turn it off when you stop shooting in snow! :)
