18-AUG-2004 Darter the Chronicler

08-18-2004

Cooper's Lake, PA

I snapped these two Nikon users napping while they waited for one of the bridge battles to begin. I found it hysterical!! I don’t know why other than a little SLR brand rivalry…LOL

I walked from 7ish in the AM until late at night shooting…no one found this Canon user napping… ;-)

(If you are accessing this from the Pennsic 33 gallery, this image was chosen as my Photo of the Day, a project that can be found on my main gallery page.)

1/250s f/6.7 at 98.0mm iso100, +1.4x Extender full exif

True! I was just joking around. I think Nikon makes a very decent camera and lens lineup...

Darter,

Loved this photo and I AM a Nikon user.... hehe!!! It was great to see you catch the other team napping on the job. The truth of the matter is that it was probably a matter of lack of sleep and too much heat that put these two to sleep. Great shot!!!

I always learn from your photos....

If one were to mount these small bombardes on a stock like a crossbow, one wouldn't have to afix them to a quarterstaff and they could then be carried slung over ones back and the staff used for walking and fighting. While these are emblazoned as Nikons, I fear there will be competion from the adherents of the Canonibus.

SLR rivalery is bullshit. All of those cameras make excellent shots. The 300D makes as good pictures as Nikon D70. The D70 has some pro features the 300 doesn't, the D70 has some advantages missing on the D70. On the end, most people look for the best for money, other because they have a brand and the lenses and stick to it.
I have al nikon, but I look at the 20D, just, I wait till the Photokina in Germany reveals what comes next year at Nikon. The Fuji S3 is one of those I look at as well. But, I think to add Canon to my camera park as well. The 8mpix chip of the Mk2 is a real hammer and the 20D has this at a better price. So let's wait what happens.
Note then on this picture the Nikons where secondary to my eyes.
