I was very excited to bring Nikon's new D700 digital SLR camera onto a commercial set last week, when I made images to populate the website of Doctors Kahn, Ferrari, and Aldieri in Farmingdale. This was a follow-up shoot to images we made together last winter, when they asked a score of their clients to come and pose for their promotional materials - what a great idea!

Anway, I must say that I'm thrilled with the current Nikon digital line. The D700 shares the imagine processor with the Nikon flagship D3 body, and the resulting photographs show a simply remarkable tonality and color rendition. The skin tones in the shot at left are un-touched, and by the numbers, seem spot-on. Brilliant!

As it was nearing sunset, and the light was just fading, I couldn't help but notice when I pulled up at their offices. I immediately asked Dr. Ferrari if she'd like a few extras for her family, and pulled her outside to take advantage of the evening. Holding a reflector below her, we bounced a little light back up and into her face and eyes while letting the remaining sun highlight her hair on the right. She looks great, doesn't she? Again, love the new camera!
