Cortina dʼAmpezzo Venice Portofino Cinque Terre Two photographers, Italy and the D80 Photographers from different fields share their impressions after shooting with the D80 on a trip to Italy. About shooting in Italy - H (Hien): Iʼ ve long dreamed of shooting in Venice. As a photojournalist, I always strive to convey the moment just as I see it with my own eyes. This demands a great amount of footwork to get acquainted with the location, and the time to establish a rapport with the locals.
Iʼve shot from this location before, but never this early in the morning. The D80ʼs automatic functions worked wonderfully, capturing the mood of the moment as I hoped to express it. – Yves Paternoster 4 • Image quality mode: RAW (NEF) • Lens: AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF • Exposure mode: [M] 1/2.5 second, f/5.6 • White balance: Auto • Sensitivity: ISO-equiv. 125 I tried to shoot this scene just as it struck my eye.
It was a challenge to find a new perspective on a famous vista. The weather wasnʼt the best, but the D80ʼs automatic white balance managed to handle the mixed lighting conditions brilliantly and I got a very good shot. – Yves Paternoster I really enjoyed taking this picture. Inspired by the light and the interaction of the people, and aided by the ease with which the D80 performed, I was able to visually express my feelings about the scene.
