Practicing manual focus with the Sigma 70-210 F4-5.6 AF-D (manual focus only on the Nikon D40) and manual flash-exposure with the SB-600 speedlight.
Since the Nikon D40 was meant for the beginner DSLR user, they've pretty much made the focusing system as unobstrusive as possible, i.e. nothing to complicate matters for beginners. This translates to a simple, 3-bracket autofocus points system in the viewfinder, which looks exactly like this: [ ] [ ] [ ]
Basically, when using an AF-S autofocus lens, half-press the shutter button and one of these bracket points lights up red; great for making things simple (since apparently Nikon's target market with this camera would most likely use AF-S lenses with built in silent-wave focus motors - AF-D and older lenses have only a screw drive system for on-camera focusing motors, i.e. no built in motor on the lens).
The real drawback comes with manual-focus lenses, it becomes relatively difficult to determine where your focus point lies, since the viewfinder is rather small (though with 96% mag) compared to older 35-mm film SLRs
(As usual, pupsy was happy to oblige as a model.)
Lighting/Lens info:
- SB-600 at 1/4 power, triggered by poverty wizards, bounced off white ceiling to camera left (you can see the room ceiling lamp shadow in pupsy's eyes)
- Nikon D40 w/ Sigma 70-210mm F4-5.6 AF-D; manual focus (only mode possible on D40 since it has no screw-drive motor to drive the lens), shot in M-mode at 1/200, 100mm at f4.5, manually focused on pupsy's eyes. SOOC shot, white balance set to AUTO

Are you ready to tumble? Take a look at our cheerleaders as they practice for their 20th UCA National Championship.
After holidays I was a bit scary when I entered studio in my college. I wasn't there for such a long time!!! But almost everything went good for me so, I was pleased to see the result before editing.
Well tonight I am out clicking away and hoping that the red breasted grossbeak (from GP's description to his mum on the phone) would return. I see the airplane and think I could grab a shot.
Next thing the folks are jumping out of a perfectly servicable aircraft (hehe) practicing for the graduation parade of the cadets from
Royal Military College in Kingston Ontario
Canada.
So, I grab camera, drivers licenc eand keys and head over to Fort Henry a few blocks away to get some better photos (or so I hoped).
I will have to head back to Fort Henry tomorrow evening as their sunset ceremony starts at 1930 hrs so hopefully I can "zoom" in from the hill and get some shots.
Congratulations to each and every cadet who will receive their Commission Scroll at their Commissioning Parade on May 15, 2008. Welcome to a family of very proud serving members both past and present!

Every free minute I pick up the guitar and practice something. Let `s see if it` s useful. It's amazing how much fun a piece of wood with a few metal wires can be.
I don't know which one I like better they are both so different. ONe face is on one side and one on the other. lol so I guess you could say she is two faced.
