I had to drive down to Tacoma yesterday to pick up some giant cardboard sheets for my next gallery installation. I took these images while I was waiting for the forklift guy to bring my order around.
A couple weeks ago I was talking to the photo tech at UW about my camera setup and the struggles I’ve been having learning the Nikon D800 — especially the fact that a lot of my photos come out slightly blurry. I know the standard rule of thumb is 1/60 shutter for handheld shots, but he told me the D800 is much more sensitive than that. I tried these images at 1/80. They look fine low res on screen, but I think even 1/80 is too slow for the D800. Next I’ll move up to 1/100 and see if I can get crisper images on that setting.
