Nikon D3000

Nikon D3100 Hands-on Preview

19.08.10

Although in some specifications, it currently records almost every unit in the Nikon digital SLRs, Nikon D3100 slots online products from the Assembly directly above the entry level D3000.

The newly designed 14.2 megapixel DX sensor-make-up CMOS image is coupled with the latest generation EXPEED image processor 2, a consortium that provides both better resolution and 1080p video at 24 fps. Standard ISO sensitivities scale 100-3200 equivalents, with the possibility of extending this range higher than the standard ISO 12800 in case of need.

With a new company that is similar to that of D3000 in terms of size, the Nikon D3100 has some additional controls for both new and existing features. The magnitude of the control layout is almost identical to that of D3000, ensuring that users choose to upgrade immediately to get comfortable with the new body.

Chronicling baby

If there's a new child in your family, or one on her or his way, you may want to think about how to record that all-too-brief period of the infant's life in photos.

A co-tradesman who just had a baby shared a couple of links on Facebook of baby photo projects she's thoughtful of emulating. They are quite impressive:

The Virginia couple who write the Young House Preference blog recently posted an entry that details how they are taking a weekly photo of their child .

The video is quite detailed, with the father explaining lighting and setting the white command on his Nikon D3000, as is their explanation of how they get the numbered week on their baby's onesie using Photoshop.

In the other reckon, a mother in Helsinki is using her maternity leave to take photos of her infant from above while she is sleeping, pretending the spoil is dreaming by setting up scenes around her using material, stuffed animals, rugs, books, an protection ... the scenes are amazingly creative (it helps that the mother is a concept designer!).
