Sample Nikon D7000 Video
Today i picked up the new Nikon D7000 as a backup camera, first thing i did was to shoot this camera at iso 3200 and i was more than impressed with the result. Second was to shoot video in full HD, i didn't tinker with any of the video settings, i just shot straight out of the camera using the kit lens. I hope someone finds this video useful one day. This video was shot in Lagos, Nigeria on the third mainland bridge reputed to be one of the longest bridges in Africa, somewhere in the video you find a guy "riding" a bus for the whole of the trip.

Nikon D3s
I made up my mind a few months ago that i was done with buying any new camera, i mean, in under a year, i have invested in about 6 already, even had a brief romance with a Canon before i quickly discovered it was meant for me. But Nikon last month released yet another masterpiece, the Nikon D3s, optimised for low light photography and priced at just over $5000, this camera is a real bargain. Maybe i buy this one then stop here.
Nikon has unveiled the D3S professional DSLR. The new model is an upgrade to the popular D3 and comes with 720p HD video recording and a sensitivity range up to ISO 102,400 for improved low light performance. Images are captured on a new 36 x 23.9 mm CMOS sensor and buffer size has been increased for 48 RAW frames in one burst. Futher improvements include a faster contrast detect AF in Live View and in-camera RAW-processing. Body shape, quality and operation are virtually identical to the D3.
Watch out for the new Nikon D3s at an Xsightn Wedding near you.

8-Core Macpro
Xsightn Photography
Photography is so much fun i must admit, it really is.
But its a whole new kettle of fish when you shoot a wedding and come out with about 3000 raw files from your camera awaiting processing. At least 50% of the pictures never make it to the client and if you don’t have a proper workflow - enter the disaster.
The last wedding i covered resulted in 2300 original raw images, i had everything rated, keyworded and color corrected in a day, it was really amazing.
I use Aperture exclusively, a truely magnificant tool for any serious photographer. I decided to invest in one of the new ridiculously pricey 8-Core MacPros from Apple after reading a review on it from a fellow wedding photographer based in the US and this has proven to be one of my best investments in photography so far.
Compared to my 17 Macbook pro, the 8-core machine cut my workflow time significantly, don’t get me wrong the Macbook pro is a truly amazing piece of gear in its own rights and would out perform most functioning desktop machines today but the 8-Core Mac-pro is on another level entirely.
Applying custom edit to 1000 images at a go is now a breeze
Its all about your Xsightn wedding.

One challenge with Wedding Photographers in Nigeria is lack of access to quality wedding albums. All that is about to change as we will be expecting our first batch of wedding albums shortly.
