This lens has quickly become one of my favorite lenses. The 70-300 is very versatile and it is a lovely walk-around lens for street photo as well as nature photography. It is also useful for portrait work when you want to shoot a little more from a distance. Perfect for candid shots in the crowd.
Full designation: Nikkor AF-S VR 70-300mm f / 4.5-5.6 G ED-IF
Bokeh (derived from Japanese boke, a noun form of bokeru, ”become blurred or fuzzy”) is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field.[1] Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject. —wikipedia
This week, create a photograph with out-of-focus background to emphasise the subject, either using the photo editor of your choice, or by focusing ;)
Happy weekend!
Nikon as released their D3x camera on the Photokina faire. From the specifications it seems to be a really cool camera and a worthy successor to the D3 model. The price tag are set for professionals however, don’t expect this to be anything but top of the line.
