Gulfstream Marina in Steinhatchee

Some times I feel the Nikon D3 is really overkill for what I mostly get hired to take pictures of - that I would actually do just fine with the Nikon D700 ( though the D700 wasn’t out when I made the decision to purchased my D3.)  However, there are times when having some of the extra features the D3 offers, such as 9 frames a second, comes in really handly. The first image above is a great example. I bracked 7 frames on a moving boat and was able pull together a blended image with relative ease back in Photoshop. So having 9 frames a second makes handheld HDR and blended images very possible in some really awkward, unyielding environments.
