Washington D.C. Auto Show 2009
IDIC Photo got a chance to take some shots at the 2009 Washington D.C. Auto Show held at the Convention Center. Not in any official capacity but as a visitor on a regular weekend day. Covering a car show is interesting and presents its specific sets of challenges. One has to ensure that the car shots are "clean" and composed in a way that people milling about or getting in and out of cars do not ruin the shot. The lighting is less than ideal so fast glass and a good (read Full frame) camera body are very helpful. We took along the FX Sensor Nikon D700 and decided to use two lenses: 1) Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 Ai-s (a more detailed review of this manual-focus Nikkor gem will follow in the blog in the future), and 2) the venerable Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 IF D.

2-year old photoshoot in Washington D.C.
Some shots from IDIC Photo's photoshoot of a 2-year old in Washington D.C. from last weekend. It was a beautiful day and early fall was in the air -- you can almost see some leaves turning color. We shot in the family's home, the child's room with his fave toys, in a nearby park (he loved the swings!) and in their backyard.

IDIC Photo participates in Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photowalk - Aug 23, 2008
I got the chance to join in the D.C. morning Photowalk as part of Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photowalk. Over 200 cities (including Dubai, Karachi, Islamabad, Delhi, Mumbai) around the world hosted photowalks today with over 7,500 photographers signed-up to participate! Per Scott Kelby's advice on gear for the walk, I decided to travel light and just brought the Nikon D300 with 18-200mm VR lens (Scott was walking with the exact same setup).
The D.C. walk was led by Jeff Revell and he was actually gracioius enough to lead two walks (morning and afternoon) due to great interest in the D.C. area. To be clear, the walk was actually NOT in D.C. but Old Town Alexandria -- we started off at Founder's park and weaved our way through streets, waterfront and parks to the Torpedo Factory. The weather was perfect in the morning -- around 72F and mostly cloudy for very soft lighting.
The best part about photowalks is getting to meet other photographers in the area. I noticed that Jeff was shooting with the D3 so I quickly bounced some thoughts off him about the D3 vs the new D700 (both full frame). I had to leave early but I understand that the group got some brunch and coffee at the end while engaging in some vigorous
chimping!
Here are some Flickr groups for D.C. and other cities:
