Southbank wandering
Work is pretty manic at the moment and quite a few late nights have been worked over the last few weeks. It looks like it’s going to be like that up until Christmas. After a very late night on Thursday I finally succumbed to the cold that seems to be doing the rounds (man flu). So after a bit of a sleep this morning I headed out to the Southbank to try and have a play with the D700 and also the new grip I’ve got for it last week. It’s kind of odd using it when doing portrait shots but nice to not have to throw your hands right over to reach the controls.
So it now looks something like this. Larger, more batteries and that set of vertical controls. Obviously it’s also a lot heavier. I managed to get a set of higher spec AA batteries which means I can get the full 8 frames per second out of it, although it’s not something I can imagine using that much for Architecture. It’ll definitely help when doing an all day shoot though to avoid taking a charger with me for lunchtime.
Here’s a few shots from today before I went home and got back into bed.
