Nikon D300 – Nikkor 100 mm @ f/8 1/125
Another fun little experiment that I’ve wanted to do, take the same photo with both cameras. Here’s a shot of the moon from last night taken from my porch. Both shots were taken with the same lens, but using different camera bodies. As you can see, the D300 appears much larger given the crop factor of 1.5.
I took both of these images with the same lens, around 2 or 3 minutes apart. I cropped them both to be the same size. As the seniors on both cameras are almost the same size, this seemed like a fair experiment. As you can see, the D300 photo looks quite a bit larger, which is cool for pulling in distant objects. Of course, we all know that the D700 would ‘win’ on the other side of the playing field, at the wide angle.
Anyway, it was something fun to do and it gave me a reason, though I don’t even need one, to take photos of the moon!

Interesting experiment. I took some images of the lunar eclipse a few years ago with my Nikon 80-400 mm and was quite pleased with the results.

An 80-400. That would have been a great shot! You can send the lens to me and I’ll hold on to it and see for myself! How about it, bud?
Paul, you sure you wasn’t just standing closer to the moon with the D300?

Damn! Busted! I didn’t think that anyone would figure that out.
2 great cameras, 1 great lens. You’re going to get a lot of great photos with your D700.
I just checked Amazon and they have 12 in inventory and they are discounting them. List price is $2699.95 on sale for $2699.00. You save $0.95!!! I may have to jump on that.

Ken! You know what they say: Strike while the iron’s hot and get while the gettin’s good! Heck, at those savings, I may have to invest in another one.
I’m waiting for the BOGO sale before jumping!
