New Camera

Well I managed to get one of the new Nikon D3 cameras at the start of December and it proved extremely useful when I had to photograph a wedding on New Year's Eve as the day was very grey and dismal and the light was fading fast in the afternoon.

This is a photograph done in the dimly lit Oldway Mansions (our local registry office) - for those of a technical disposition the photograph was taken hand held at 1/50th sec at f5.6 and ISO 6400. No flash was used.

With cameras I have owned in the past, this shot would have been impossible without a solid tripod and plenty of flash which would have ruined the mood and ambience of this delicately lit and captured image.
