Nikon D5200

2012-11-02T20:10:00.000+11:00

The new Nikon D5200 is set to be released soon, making 2012 a great year for Nikon. Nikon D800, D800E, D3200, D800, D600 and the D4, the Nikon D5200 will be the SEVENTH DSLR camera Nikon will release this year.

""A couple of days ago, we reported that the Nikon D5200 could be announced soon, and thanks to the folks at Nikon Rumors, it looks like the announcement could be taking place on the 6^th of November. This is not official, but it seems that there will be a expo held in Paris for photography dubbed the Salon de la Photo, where it seems that it is very likely that Nikon could be unveiling the D5200 there. This is apparently based on previous experience where Nikon, along with other major camera manufacturers, like to unveil new products at events, like the one mentioned above, or during CES, CP+, Photokina and etc. Either way we guess we have a little less than a week to go before we find out if this is indeed the case, so if the rumored Nikon D5200 is a camera you could be interested in, check back with us then for the details. ""

""The new Nikon D5200 will have slightly different specs than the D3200:

It will use the same 24MP DX-format CMOS sensor
EXPEED 3 processor (same as in the D3200)
ISO range: 100-6,400 (expandable up to 25,600, D3200 could go only up to 12,800)
2,016 pixel RGB metering sensor (same as the D600, the D3200 had a 420 pixel RGB sensor)
Continuous shooting speed: 5fps (the D3200 could do only 4 fps)
Vari-angle LCD screen (3", 921k dots)

We reached 4000 views! YAY!

The Nikon D4 signed by Usain Bolt got delisted from eBay for violation of the charity auction policies after hitting $11,000. The camera is now re-listed correctly and after 12 bids and 2 more days to go, the current price is $6,000.

Ok, so my buddy decided to prank me and deleted all my photos from my SD Card. Of course I was angry at him but then he gave me a site where I could recover my photos. I thought this would be useful for anyone who may have had a similar situation.

Update

2012-09-05T21:41:00.000+10:00

Ok, so this week in photography, I was inspired by 2 photographers who don't use digital cameras. These two people, both interesting enough, live in America and are pretty well known, yet I had no idea who they were until I was told about them.

The first would be Hiroshi Sugimoto, which you can read more about on this website or wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Sugimoto
http://www.sugimotohiroshi.com/

And secondly Erik Kim
http://erickimphotography.com/

I have been inspired by them to use not only digital photography but also film or 'analogue' photography.
The quote by Hiroshi ' I(we) are living in the last ages of true photography'.
What this means is that since the advancement of technology, cameras have evolved so much that we are able to add and subtract information from the photograph using softwares like Photoshop and LightRoom.

This has inspired me to keep the 'traditional' side of photography alive by starting film photography.

I have planned to buy a Leica (maybe a M3) - maybe you could give me tips,

I hope you took something from that and be sure to have a look at the photographers linked

Imagine strolling down this beach... ahhhh

Custom Painted Nikon D4 selling on eBay for 18,000 pounds!

2012-08-15T21:46:00.002+10:00

Some photographs...

2012-08-15T18:50:00.000+10:00

So yeh, I'm back

Sorry for the long wait, I've been busy with school. Here are some photos I took down at a local beach a few days ago. Of course, I've photoshoped some of the photographs, but I've applied what I've learnt at school. If you go into photoshop, do ctrl+l and the levels will appear. To make your photograph look better, drag the arrow from the left to where all the 'mountains' start or where there is a sudden change in height, and go to the right one and do the same. This will make the picture seem less washed out and more saturated, therefore more appealing to the eye.

Please take a look :)

If you are interested in buying one of the please contact me by emailing me @ thelightpursuer@hotmail.com

or leaving a comment!

Thanks!

David
