Well at least long enough to pay back the small business loan for gear. The new website is up but I'm still adding and rearranging images but I'm content enough to get off the ground. MAD MANTIS STUDIO
I've upgraded to A Nikon D700. Its been a long time in the making but having used the camera for the first time this past weekend I'm thoroughly impressed. For the last three years I've worked with around Canon's 1DS Mark III (An amazing Camera by all counts) but it can't hold a candle to the high ISO performance of Nikon's sensor. There is virtually no difference between 100 ISO to 800 ISO and 1600 ISO is nothing to cry about. Of course the clarity of a full frame sensor, not to mention the ability to use your lenses as they were designed, is just incredible. Luckily my brother arrived in Albuquerque for training this past weekend and I had great subject matter to play with....
For those who do not know my brother has been an eternal source of subject matter going back to the first days I discovered film and cameras. He also happens to be a Blackhawk Pilot. Which fits my brother perfectly. I hope some day to fly with him. I doubt it will ever be in a Blackhawk but for me any helicopter will do.
Next blog entry will be a little more technical. It will deal with printing a black blackhawk and retaing the details.
I just loved those pictures. You are simply amazing with a camera.
