After a couple of months without a camera (the D200 was sold to this chap!) I finally took the plunge and whacked a Nikon D700 + MB-D10 on my recently-cleared credit card. That’s what it’s for after all, right?! Anyway, it arrived yesterday just in time for me to rush out (literally) and shoot Young Widows at The Fly in Camden.
I was hoping that it’d be a decent test of the much-lauded low-light capabilities of the FX sensor, but Young Widow’s lighting arrangement would have been a stretch to say the least. They provided their own illumination by way of just four lamps at the back, with the rest of the stage lighting turned off. I pulled out the SB-800 and rattled off a few keepers:
The gig itself was fucking superb, with YW playing a blinding albeit short set. Likewise the D700 although I haven’t really scratched the surface of what it can do yet. More soon!
