Thanks Terri!
Okay now I am on a roll with another example of precise D-100 shutter timing.
The first two pictures are the real-deal, no retouching. Those battered marble sculptures actually were present and in the midst
of the original Battle of Germantown on October 4, 1777.
(Note: the Americans lost this battle. 70 men died on the front lawn of this house. The British were barracaded inside, and this proved to be a very well built house indeed! Even cannons were not up to the task. The site is Cliveden of the National Trust, and it still bears its original battle scars on the facade, and inside. To visit the website:
click here. Those battle poster shots are mine too. Actually everyone is invited to attend the next Battle reinactment on October 1, 2005. Its free! See you there.)
On the second pair of pictures I had fun and added effects to an innocent image of four boys in a mock drill. I can assure you their muskets were not actually loaded!
The fire was taken from the image in the previous post, and added in Photoshop. What fun!
The point I am making is that if this camera can ably capture the precise moment of a gun being fired, it stands to reason a wiggly toddler on the loose doesn't stand a chance eluding a trigger finger on this shutter! The Nikon D-50, D-70, and D-100 should each be about the same capability in this regard.
