I forgot to post this earlier. Apologies. There’s a nearby park where I go when I need a photobreak. Here are some early spring shots near and past sunset.

New Gallery, where Torin and I go on a photo shoot in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh. Originally we were going to do street / architecture stuff, but the weather was truly dreadful, so we went into the Carnegie Dinosaur Museum Thing, and also Heinz Chapel.

For folks who question the usefulness of the Nikon D3(00) Live View mode, I must say that it made many of these shots much easier, both in getting critical focus, and for composition where the camera was in an awkward position on the tripod. Much easier to see the screen than to look through the view finder upside down hanging by a rope, or something like that.

New Gallery, taken during some other errands today, around the little town of Tarentum, PA. Very gray, overcast day, and was spitting rain.

I spent the day at the Pittsburgh with my buddy Torin, the first real shoot with the 24-120mm lens on the D3. There are a couple of nice ones in there, but for the most part, just ‘adequate’. Looking at the specs for some images, I have no idea what I was thinking. I really didn’t need ISO 2500 and f/11 outdoors. Granted, the D3 makes high ISO like that pretty good, but still not generally smart.
