Photo-A-Day March 2016

My first ever go at a panoramic at twilight. Had to work quickly with lots of tourists around me (though attendance is limited to 400 on any one night to prevent over crowding) as light changes very quickly. Naturally they all want to shoot the banqueting hall because of its reflections. Had to smile as person after person shooting with a mobile phone used their flashes...fat lot of good it did them!

Pentax 645Z FA 45 - 85 at 45mm, 7 shots in portrait orientation, 20 seconds, 640px wide here, but 5000px available on flickr

Nikon D5, 24-70mmG @f8. Light coming from a window. Just wanted to post a photo from the D5. Nothing to look at other than a look at ISO performance. Nothing technical. Other photos at other ISOs in the Flickr Album. This photo is JPEG right out of camera. No PP. ISO 12800.

Congrats on the D5, autofocus! ISO 12800 sure looks good

Where am I gonna get the cash for that body? Sigh...

Autofocus, kudos to you for getting the first shot on PAD by a D5! How did you get one so quickly?

Close enough to midnight. Wanted to post a night photo with the D5. ISO 25,600. I also shot the same ISO on my D4 and it really doesn't compare.
@WestEndFoto I preordered the minute the link went up for B&H. Just got lucky I suppose. I'm glad it arrived so quickly since I'm leaving for Salt Lake City on Thursday and can take it with me.

Another D5 shot. No PP, JPG out of camera, full size on Flickr.

Still think it's a great camera. Most negative comments have centered on DR at Low ISOs. I wanted this camera because I don't shoot on a tripod when shooting action and keeping the shutter speed high to freeze action is important. Especially when using apertures at 5.6 or higher and in low light. That's where this camera fits in. It's not a do everything perfect camera. But what is...
