New baby Mara in Ljubljana ZOO

Today I was really glad that Nikon D90 have movie mode. As usual when I have nothing to do, I went to Ljubljana ZOO to take some pictures. When I come to the mara and alpaca enclosure, I saw a little black fur-ball on the ground. It was new born baby Mara. I must have missed whelping for a couple of minuts at the most. Mother licked the new born and after he struggle to climb to a den, they both dissapeare in it.

VR would be nice, since even lense (Sigma 100-300 f/4) mounted on tripod can't prevent shaking and "jellying". But any way, I was very happy to shoot that movie.

Misfits in HDR; Nikon D90 movie

On a foggy saturday morning, Misfits (here is his picture of the week on the Photo.net) and I have decided, that we would take some foggy pictures in Mostec-Ljubljana. Well, there was fog all arround woods, but not in it. In the woods it was pretty clear. We take some pictures any way. Since Peter alias Misfits like to have little HDR applied in his landscapes, he did use brackateing most of the time. And of course, I have taken some movies with Nikon D90 and Sigma 50mm f/1,4 ( which is, BTW, very good lense).

Nikon VR effectiveness in movie mode

There was a discussion going on e-fotografija, whether VR (lense stabalization) is working in movie mode on Nikon D90 or not. I said that it does not. I was wrong. It does working. And it's workin just fine. Here is a movie with VR OFF and VR ON, so you can check for yourself.

Focus and zoom rings on Sigma 17-70 are not the smoothest ones. :)
