Good News for HDR

Good News

Not only do all of my non-CPU
Nikon F lens work on the D5000;
in addition if properly setup with
a light meter, the D5000 will
auto-bracket with the old
non-CPU lens as well.

My auto-bracketing is set to 2EV
when I match the lens aperture
with the lens aperture on the CPU,
the D5000 will auto-bracket by
changing the speed up 2EV for
one shot and to 2EV below for
the other all well.

Hoo-rah thanks Nikon.

First Blog

I have put away my Nikon F and 35mm film forever.
I’m now fully committed to digital photography
and the dry computer “darkroom”.

I’ve experimented with digital with a series
of Olympus cameras:

    • 3 MP C-720
    • 5 MP C-50
    • 12 MP SP-590uz


I took the plunge yesterday;
I went
Adorama Cameras

I bought a refurbished Nikon D5000 12 MP with
a refurbished 18- 55 mm AF VR zoom for a price
so low you will have to call “Sy” at
1-888-216-7400
extension 2265 and ask him.

If you call him I’m sure,
he can help you too.
Tell him I sent you.
