Nikon D400 leaked


Above pic shows the leaked pictures of the new D400. It claims to have 1080hd video recording. It looks real to me. Nikon empire is getting stronger. I doubt Canon still catching up. Not long ago, There was D700 being announced, tried on that, it seems pretty impressive dslr. But what is going with dlsr nowadays? What happen with the built in video recording features in a dslr? I doubt photographers use that. Sooner or later, there's no photographer anymore. Claim the name: Cinematographer. wooHOO!!!

anyway, here's the leaked spec of the Nikon D400:

I did have a great time shooting on that day. No pressure, just learn, ask question, suggest and fire up the shutter. Master John taught us 1st clue of the day was "seeking for the available light as light source". That means no flash! yaY! I was excited. Before this, I was so afraid to use flash, maybe it's because of the damn third party flash *smacking the flash*

2nd clue was he yelling at the time "shoot low! shoot low!" Oh, come on... How am I going to shoot low with the focal length of 70-200? alright, ignore this part.

3rd, NO MORE CUTEY STUFF! time to be a grOWN UP! No more cubit on the face, slap the butt etc! I find marriage can be described with a word "Elegant". So, both the bride and groom might have to turn themselves into a porfessional model. Master John was asking us to shoot the outcome as seen in the magazine. The feel of elegant, connection of 2 people, seriousness, intimacy were theme of the day. Somehow, we forgot happiness where minor cheeky scene is allowed in my dictionary.

Overall, great effort by organizers, great experience, great guidance by seniors and Master John W. Ishii, great weather(overcast), great people around making laughter, great time being together and lastly, great dinner before we dismiss.

stay tune for more photos uodate!
