May 7 2005 Dancer

A dancer at San Antonio's Blue Star Art Complex, First Friday monthly night out.
First hour of ownership of D2X. I should only get better.

An addendum for those who commented on the color.
If your camera gives you the option of setting color temperature learn how to use it.
It's a simple ,if seemingly advanced, feature that many overlook.
I've learned that incandescents vary from about 2850 Kelvin to 3200 K.
These shots were lit by simple aluminum reflectors but the lights were high wattage so I chose 3000 & 3200 K.
I need to get a bigger card so the I can shoot RAW more.
My shutter-happy finger eats up my cards with NEF's too fast.

Nikon D2x
1/80s f/1.4 at 85.0mm iso640 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

This is a beautiful shot! I love the DOF on this, and the image is SO clean for a movement shot. TFS!!! Have fun with that new camera. :)

You've convinced me. I was going to hold off on getting one for a while. This is wonderful. Excellent skin tones.
