A few pics from a press launch I just attended...

There was one official looking Photog there using d1x + sbn-80dx and what looked like a 28-70/2.8 and a Bigma...

Are you sure this is not from a Theology class on resurrection

Chris

hehe...

He would have a bit of catching up to do!

This is one case where I would have loved to have the 24-120VR..

Some of the shots I either couldnt get fast enough (with Kit) or when I used the 50/1.4 (which the AE shot was done with) I couldnt get tight enough on speakers...

Just love it. A real Segway! Who owns the Segway, Questacon? (Thereby making it a taxpayer funded segway) Can the public have a ride?

Wouldn't that be a laugh riding a segway over the Commonwealth Bridge. Wonder how many accidents it would cause.

You did well with the photos, looks like they may have had special lighting there, Einstein looks a bit orange. Did you use a flash?

No flash (remember to always check your batteries in your SB-800/Sb-80dx)
It was taken with the 5/1.4 there was stage lighting in there that was shifting so I took a WB on the incandescants before I started shooting but the ocasional colored spotlights would throw casts on the images...

Yes the Segway was cool... and I think it is questicons but aparently there is now a distributor for them in Aus so we may see more of them!

And only $7995 or $300 a day. So who will be the first to post D70 pictures from a Segway?

There's a guy in Bondi who owns one.

I've seen him ride it on the sidewalks on Bondi Road.

I've also walked by him as he's done it. Lol.

Warning: Alcohol talking.

Bondi doesn't have any 'sidewalks'.

Sure we do.
Just not on the weekends.
