The weather was fine today. Temperatures below freezing point and a clear sky. I spend a beautiful afternoon with my family in the Oostvaardersplassen. Sunset brought terrific colours and this snipe was resting on a small island in front of the hide. It was my first shooting with my new Nikon D3. I thought my good old D2X was already an excellent camera. But the D3 is simply taking the limits further. What a camera!!! All the stories on the internet are true. Blazing fast, accurate autofocus, noise handling is terrific which brings new creative possibilities, and the pixel quality is awesome. I never had such sharp pictures directly from the camera.
Cheers, Dirk-Jan
