a funny experience with a free tool found on the net (thanks to a colleague on FredMiranda.com. The site is http://www.poladroid.net .
You can download a utility to do this kind of polaroid conversion, very funny and with that crazy old-fashioned look...

Water level


D2x -2, originally uploaded by gugs.

This is a small but very useful gadget to mount on the hot shoe (flash). This allows to keep the camera perfectly horizontal on a tripod. I use this for panorama photography. When you stitch a large number of pictures together for a pano, you need to hqve them correctly aligned, otherwise you'll have to straighten them before and you'll lose a lot of information.

Eindhoven


ehv -8-2, originally uploaded by gugs.

A night shot with the D3 and the 24-70 2.8 on a tripod. This is the Philips Lighting building in Eindhoven. I shot at ISO 1600 to allow a short shutter time (1/3 sec) to get the texture in the sky, also adding an exposure compensation of -1 EV to make the moon visible.

a sports shot during the volleyball supercup in Belgium. Nikon D3+200-400VR lens @f4 (fully open). That combo is brilliant for indoor sport, no flash needed and ISO6400 perfectly usable.
