The marine layer was drifting overhead, obscuring my view of the eclipse. Once in a while it was clear enough, I could make a photograph:
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikkor 300mm f4.5
Exposure: ISO 1600, 2 sec. @ f4.5
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Yellowfin Tuna, Monterey Bay Aquarium. Nikon D70, 18-70 f3.5-f4.5, 27mm, f3.8, 1/10 sec, ISO 400. 7-23-07, 4:48:23 PM PDT.
Hubble Space Telescope at 17
From CNET News: “NASA is celebrating the 17th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope, which launched in April 1990…”
All I can say is the photographs are amazing.
Nikon D80
Digital Photography Review has a review by Phil Askey of the Nikon 10.2 megapixel D80 SLR Digital Camera.
Leica M8
Digital Photography Review has a preview by Phil Askey and Simon Joinson of a pre-production Leica M8. The camera will be shown at Photokina, the big photography show in Germany, at the end of the month.
This is the first digital Leica M-body. My first Leica was an M3. So far I’ve only made it to a Leica M4-2. Cartier-Bresson would probably be happy with an M8.
Thanks to Mitch Polikoff, Evins Communications, Ltd. and Christian Erhardt, Leica Camera Inc. / Marketing Manager for the M8 image.
