The Nikon D7000 was aimed at the Enthusiast photographer when when it was released in 2010, but it proved to be such a tough, reliable camera, it became the darling of semi-pro photographers everywhere. At 16.2 megapixels, this APS-C/crop frame DSLR has great resolution and handles nearly every Nikon lens ever made. In this volume of Shawn M. TomlinsonÍs Guide to Photography, the Nikon D7000 proves itself to be one of the best mid-range DSLRs available for the budding photographer at the Enthusiast and Semi-Pro levels.
A lot has changed since I wrote and published this first volume of what became this guide series. One thing hasnÕt. I still have the same enthusiasm and joy in photography I had way back at the beginning of the series. I have a lot more knowledge and experience now and, occasionally even get close to taking good photographs. ThatÕs the thing, see. I didnÕt know a lot when I originally wrote this guide. I had been working in photography since 1982 professionally. Everything I knew, pretty much, was self-taught. In general, thatÕs still true. ThereÕs no need for you to do it all by yourself, too, though. This book and this series are meant to help you get going with the basics fast. Yes, OK, I tend to relate my own experiences, but that, too, is meant to help you avoid some basic mistakes I made. And, perhaps, I write in a tad too friendly manner, but think of it as sitting down with me to have a friendly talk about a passion we share: Photography!
The designers at Nikon in 2004-05 were looking for a way to reach the semi-pro photographer. The semi-pro is someone who has another job but shoots photos Ñ often at weddings Ñ as a part-time job. TheyÕre sometimes called weekend warriors. They tend to be serious and dedicated, but they had no need for the pro digital single-lens reflex behemoths like the Canon EOS IDX Mark II or the Nikon D5. What they needed then and now is a DSLR camera that is built strong, is always reliable and can handle their workload. That led to the first true semi-pro camera from the company, the Nikon D200. The D200 may have been overshadowed by its successor, the Nikon D300, but itÕs still a great camera. A great camera that can be had relatively cheaply, and that makes it an even better camera.
Since Five Easy Pieces was already taken as a title, I guess Short Rounds will have to do. Also, it seems appropriate that, as of this writing, I have five published books in print. These five short stories can serve as a complementary addendum to those five books. I also include a short ñspiritual memoirî titled Faith Came Easy and two previously unpublished poems. I will try to let the short fiction speak for itself, but I should add that it is as eclectic as I can make it. There is mystery, science fiction, scene portraiture and even an attempt at horror. So here goes. Some quick reads and, I hope, interesting pieces. They pretty much all stand alone, except possibly ñInside Out, î which utilizes the main character from my Adirondack Mystery series, Hallum Johnson. The other stories are all orphans in character and the fact that this is the first time they have seen the light of day in publication.
Martin sat in an old office chair. It didn't seem odd in the New Old West saloon. End o' the world and all, he thought. He knew them the moment they walked in. The man and woman were dressed right, but out of place. "Evenin'" Martin said casually. "We understand you buy new technology," the man said The lanky woman reached under her poncho and held a small black rectangular object out to him. Martin looked at it, said, "OK, I give up. What's it do?" The man dropped something, and there was a blinding explosion. "Flash-bang," Martin thought as he holstered his pistol. He scooped up the black rectangle, shoved it in his pocket and left. Back at his house Martin, looked at the device, set his drink down. He pulled out a cheroot, lit it, examined the device closely. His thumb ran along the flat surface and everything got loud suddenly. There was a blast and white light and the room disappeared. Martin felt rapid movement, said, "Another mission," and was gone.
ÒJust like me to never have any money when the end of the world comes, Ó thought Martin Fahy as he walked through the bitter, ceaseless rain. He laughed slightly and wondered what he was going to do now. Sure, he had been the one who always knew The End was coming soon, but he just couldnÕt convince anyone else. He wasnÕt a religious fanatic or anything and his predictions of the coming doom had nothing to do with apocalyptic visions or cultist beliefs. It was based largely on his continual observation of scientific predictions. And now, it all was happening. Fahy realized what heÕd always said was his prime philosophy still was true: The only way out is throughÉ
I have been somewhat reluctant to write about the absolute best digital single-lens reflex camera I have ever used, the Nikon D800E. The reason is that I like to write about older cameras that have become cheaper to buy and use for the frugal photographer. Although some of the cameras I have written about were terribly expensive when first released, by now they are reasonably cheap. For example, IÍve written books about the Canon EOS 1DS/1DS Mark II, the Nikon D1 and the Nikon D2X. These all are pro DSLRs and as such were released at prices ranging from $6,000 to $8,000. By now, however, the most you will pay is around $400 for any of them. In a few years, the Nikon D800E, too, will be much cheaper and an obvious choice for the frugal photographer. No matter the price, the D800 and D800E are two of the best DSLRs ever made. Either will change you as a photographer in fantastic ways.
The Nikon D70 was Nikon's third revolution just in the digital photography age. (Never mind the major one in 1959 with the Nikon F that changed professional film photography) The first was the Nikon D1 started pro digital photography, the end of mainstream film. The second was the Nikon D100, the first DSLR to reach the lofty heights of 6.1 megapixels. Then there was the D70. It looks and feels like a modern DSLR, and Nikon released it in 2002. It was, in its own way, as revolutionary as the D1 and the D100. I've taken some of my best photos with it. The thing is, there really is little negative to say about the Nikon D70/D70S. You can come up with many reasons to spend more money on a newer DSLR, but if you want a great camera for little money, the Nikon D70 or D70S is a good bet.
The folks at Nikon produced the first practical digital single-lens reflex camera with the Nikon D1 in 1999, but Canon was hot on their heels, reaching out to the Enthusiast photography market first with the Canon EOS 30D. Always in direct competiion with Canon, Nikon pushed to get its first Enthusiast DSLR on the market by 2002, the Nikon D100. It may be old now, but it still is a viable choice for the frugal photographer starting out. In this volume of Shawn M. TomlinsonÍs Guide to Photography, Nikon D100 takes center stage, showing exactly how good this camera is and why it makes a great first DSLR.
In some ways, the Nikon F5 is easier to use than the Canon EOS 1N, but it is not nearly as elegant.There's just something about the way the Canon EOS 1N feels in my hands when I'm shooting with it that makes me never want to put it down.In that way, it reminds me much more of the Nikon F4S than the Nikon F5Practically since I placed the order for the camera, it was inevitable that I would need to write about it.If you are seeking the perfect late-model film SLR camera, you need look no further than the second-to-last pro level Canon EOS 1N.Just load a roll of film, take the camera in your hands and start shooting.You, too, will never want to let it go.
