Conferencing in Sydney with NESA – My Best Year Yet
My trip down to Sydney coincided with the purchase of a new camera, lens, camera bag and a few other bits n pieces like light modifiers, polarisers, compact flash cards, memory card reader. Or in other words it cost me heaps of mulla for some of the latest equipment on the market, but lets see if these business expense’s reaped the rewards for my clients.
Of course.. after photographing my fourth NESA (National Employment Services Association) Conference this time @ the Sydney Hilton I’m glad to say this new gear rocks my world; “Oh Yeh Baby!” If you don’t know already or haven’t been to a conferencing centre for a while, these places are dark enough that our (photographers) cameras have a hard time exposing the available light, without using a tripod, getting grainy images or camera shake. So here’s my new gear.
Nikon D700 camera body- Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 lens
- TC-17E Teleconverter (for 70-200mm my lens)
- 77mm UV & polariser filters
- Lumiquest Softbox III (LQ-119)
- 2 x 8gb Sandisk Extreme IV
- Sandisk SDDRX4 Memory Card Reader
- +5yr waranty on camera & lens
My best year yet is the D700 is able to handle all the conditions of a conferencing with impeccable results. Cleaner files, higher dynamic range, better graduation in tones and the amazing awesome ability of shooting in low light at high ISO’s with very little noise (grain). And the Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 lens is sharp as ever. All in all we have happy clients and a happy photographer, job well done.
Truly; lets let the images do the talking
