Alarm went at 6am this morning
big day shooting a Marathon.
Just short of 5000 runners which I beleive is small in comparison to some.
I actually used the d7000 as the focussing issue would not be a problem at the aperture's I would be using, shutter priority at 500 sec with iso 1000 gave me plenty of dof mostly f8-f11 so the backfocus issue was lost really.
Reasons I used the d7000 over the d90, twin card slots and the fact I had a grip for the 7000 and not the d90.
As it happens I did not need the extra power, that little battery in the d7000 is amazing, I shot 2650 frames and it only went down a couple of bars and there are 6 I think, so not even down to half power.
Ya see I don't just slag camera's off, I also praise them when they are good.
Anyway a few shots from today.
All are with the sigma 70-200 2.8, monopod, straight off the cam apart from the start which I have straightened. I was shooting jpeg small at standard quality which gives a 4mpx image.
