A picture taken during a visit to a very photogenic industrial site called Carsid in Charleroi, Belgium. This shot is at the output of a blast furnace.
For more information about the site, see Carsid video on internet. Very impressive to say the least.

Exhibition
Pictures at an exhibition, a first for a friend of mine who became a successful motorsport photographer in less than 3 years... shot with the exceptional 14-24 2.8 on the D3 camera. For info on his work, have a look at http://www.frozenspeed.com.

Wildlife ?
This is a picture I just found funny. The equipment used is totally crazy for this kind of shot, but it was the only thing I had around my neck when I could take the picture: D3+200-400VR. This could have been done with ANY smaller and cheaper camera/lens combo.

Smiling
A wonderful snapshot in the traffic in India. Those smiles are just so nice. Shot with the Nikon D3 from a car in the traffic.
Indian railway station
One of my favorites, I love the colors and the atmosphere in such an Indian station... shot with the D3 and the 28-75 2.8 lens.

Studio
An overview shot of a TV studio (RTL in Belgium) during the "Télévie" show, to collect money for research against cancer. This amazing perspective has been made possible by the new 14-24mm 2.8 zoom on the D3 camera.

Basketball
Just an example to show that the D3 is a wonderful tool for sports, here used with the 70-200VR lens. Two important remarks: the auto white balance works extremely well, no real need to correct in post-production, unlike with other older generation cameras (D70, D200 etc). The other remark is about the AF system, very complex to understand to get the proper results. After experimenting, I found the winning combination for indoor sports: I used continuous mode, with the delay set to long so that if I "lock" a target I don't lose it too quickly - as a consequence, I have to press the AF-ON button more often to re-focus if I choose another point of attention - not too easy when players are moving that fast , and fire with the shutter button. I switched VR off, I selected a shutter speed of at least 1/400sec with the 70-200VR... and the results were more than acceptable...
My other recommendation is to avoid the full 3D mode for indoor sports (this has been my experience with both Tennis and Basketball, unless you are very close or use a very long lens). I used the dynamic mode with 21 or 9 points AF, this gave me more predictable results (at least for basketball), I would assume this depends on the size of the "objects" you track...
