Sakonnet Point Light (a Revisit)
Little Compton, Rhode Island
A revisit of a shot I took 2 years ago, this time with a full-frame sensor (and earlier in the morning). Enticed by a significant rebate and a free battery pack/grip, I traded in the D7100 for a D810.
I haven't had much time to use it (aside from a few shots of our cats, this is my first real go with it), but my initial impressions are positive. Not that is matters to me, but the mirror slap is much quieter than that of the D750; ergonomically, I love the dedicated AF-ON button; the built-in eyepiece shutter is much appreciated---no more searching my pockets for that elusive little plastic cover! The fact that my trusty wireless remote shutter release is not compatible with the D810 was a surprise, but I'm delighted with the build quality of the 10-pin connector on the front of the body---which is threaded so you can sturdily screw-in a cabled remote---and with the fact that the Nikon MC-36A cabled remote does not require a battery if you're not using it as a timer.
I have no quibbles at all with my D750, but my plan now is to convert it to IR. Really looking forward to that!
Filters: landscape polarizer, 1-stop hard-edge GND, 10-stop ND
