National Dog Show 2016 Miniature Schnauzer

The miniature hi-intensity light is ideal for the keychain, readily available when needed (especially on dog walks after dark).

This is the perfect album for our use.....dog show photos and ribbons. We ordered 6....we already have dozens of these albums. They last. B & H has the best price for these albums.

I used this at a dog show this weekend shooting win photos. It works great!

I found this particular unit at the NAB 2016 show in LV. This unit is very compact, it may looks small, But it will handle all the daily work as all the other FF unit.It helps me cut a lot of cord mass between me and the camera. If you want something easy to carry and can handle the same project as your other heavy FF unit. This is your perfect Gear !

I saw this strap at the 2016 Photo Plus show, I got a chance to talk with the vender about there products and was highly impressed. It's made of genuine leather with machine stitched. It was easy to install one my Nikon D700 with battery grip, I did not use there base screw mount. I already had a manfrotto mounting plate on my battery grip. I unbuckle it when I need to mount it to my tripod. Also I can use it in tandem with my black rapid SR-7 strap. It's worked out quite well for me I have rather large hands to boot.

Used it a National Night out to show a Sesame Stree preparedness video to the kids o a 43 TV and they were glued to their seats.

This was my go-to lens with my Nikon D7100 before I went full-frame. It's a bit heavy, but what a wonderful lens, especially in low light. I tried it on my D750 and D850 and decided I couldn't justify selling it back to B&H. Here's couple of recent handheld shots from a walk in the garden with my Nikon Z6ii. I love the bokeh and the color rendition. On the cropped sensor it acts like a 75-150mm lens. I bought it mainly for shooting dog show movement shots in lousy indoor lighting, for which it works great. On the full frame it works in DX mode as a true 50-100mm f1.8. I haven't had any vignetting problems with any of the 3 full framed camera bodies that I've tried it on. Occasionally I'll use it for dog show movement even though I have several nice full framed lenses to choose from.

The results with this paper are outstanding. I get paid for my work as a dog show photographer and this paper has earned a permanant role in my business. It is heavy, quality stock with a beautiful finish that resists fingerprints and abrasions. It can be handle without damage. A tough and good quality product.

I shoot mostly dog show photos and I wanted to upgrade my lenses from the kit lenses for shooting movement shots outdoors with my Nikon D7100. Having loved my Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 Art Lens, I decided to purchase the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 DG Sports lens. It's a great upgrade versus my Nikkor 18-200mm 3.5-5.6f all-in-one lens. I've even tried using it under low-light indoor conditions. Yes, it's heavy, but I like to attach it to my Manfrotto monopod and the results have been outstanding.

I own a Nikon D750 that is a great camera, but I wanted to have a second camera that would suit my needs. I'm an slightly overly enthusiastic amateur photographer. When the pandemic isn't around I do a lot of dog show photography, landscapes and family-oriented shooting. I thought long and hard about whether I should get the D850 or maybe the Nikon D500 or a Nikon Z7? (I have a plethora of Sigma Nikon F-mount lenses, so I really wasn't tempted by another brand.) There was no clear answer for me. The D500 is a DX format, but it is a great sport camera with a great buffer and quick focusing, so it would be nice for shooting movement in dogs in the ring. The Z7 is probably a step towards the future, but the buffer is no better than the D850, is less robust, and I saw too many YouTube videos that question its focus-tracking. I spoke to a few pro-photography friends that often shoot at dog shows and they steered my towards the D850. One of the friends who travels around the world as a pro photographer has a D500, the D850 and a D5. He said the other two are great cameras, but he finds that he leaves them behind when shooting a dog show. Another friend is a well-regarded graphic artist who loves mirrorless cameras for his own purposes. But, he felt that the D850 was the better choice for me given what's important to me. Luckily, when I called B&H Photo to purchase a new D850, they had recently taken in a very lightly used D850 and I jumped on it immediately, trading in my backup D750 to them for a small portion of the cost. I've only had it for a few shoots, and I'm just beginning to read Darrell Young's Mastering the Nikon D850, but for me, this camera is special, quite similar to the Nikon D750 out of the box, and I think it was the best choice for me.
