Just got back from traveling through Morocco....

Started in Casablanca then to Rabat, Fez, Marrakech and then back to Casablanca for one night. If you have ever traveled to places like north Africa you know how fascinating the people are. The way they live, eat do commerce-utterly a photographers dream.
This is my first trip using my new Nikon D800 and the camera did not dissappoint me. I rarely used the video but the 2 times I did the quality was superb. As far as the photos....I will attach links to see all of the photos along with a few snapshots....enjoy.

Occupy Wall Street, May 1 2012...

I just went to take photos of the Flatiron building doing HDR today and I was bombarded by thousands of protesters..."Occupy Wall Street"...
One of the police officers said there were about 1,500...BS! There must have been at least 5,000-10,000 people I would estimate. I started taking pictures of the random people and then just starting taking photos of peoples signs.
Here is a link to see most of the pictures from today.

Shooting with my new Nikon D800....

I just bought the new Nikon D800 on Ebay...reason being that is the only place to buy it. I had it on order at Amazon and B and H Photo but both places have not had it since it was released. I ended up buying it from someone in Colorado who got it from Adorama in NY.
Amazing, NY to Colorado back to NY....
I have been testing out lenses to see which one's I want to purchase.
I tried the Nikon 14-24mm 2.8 (bought it), Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 (bought it), Nikon 24-120mm 4.0 (returned it), Nikon 50mm 1.8 (returned it), Nikon 50mm 1.4 (bought it), Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 (returned it), Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 (bought it). I took photos inside of apartments -mine, a few friends apartments that they are representing as real estate brokers, my friends baby, a night out with freinds and running around the streets of NY city.
I probably took about 800 or so photos already and posted many of them here on flickr....

I am amazed at the quality of the photos, the details are spectacular!
If I had this camera and these lenses my whole life I would be a weatlthy man. This equipment make you a better photographer.
