The Nikon Ninja

No, I'm not talking about me. At least, not yet. But today I got a new book from the big brown truck man, and it's called "Mastering the Nikon D700" by Darrell Young and James Johnson. So while my two little men are outside playing and my honey is at 'school', I am sitting here with my new book, learning how to navigate Tomi (that's my D700's name) like a ninja.

I'm excited to get more intimate with this camera. I had pushed my D90 (Mira) to the limit and was really ready to dive into something with more power and more customization. I can basically surf Tomi's menus and shoot with her, but I want to go further. I suppose I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

Sorry for the geeky blog. Sometimes though, that's what we do - geek out over things we love.

  2. Darrell-
    Thank you so much! I'm already about 3/4 of the way in and am SO much more comfortable, even after a single day with the book. I spent several hours today reading with my D700 in my lap, going along with the book. It is a really fabulous resource - better than the book I bought for my D90 by some other guy. Not to knock the other photographer-turned-author; honestly I think the flow and the writing style in your book is just easier for me to understand.

    Thank you so much for such a helpful, in-depth resource! If any questions arise, I'll contact!

    Best,
    Samantha
