Nikon D750 & AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR at Hawaiian Luau

Nikon D750, AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, ISO 7200, ƒ/5.6, 1/500
Last night I took in the wonderful Luau put on by Island Breeze at the Courtyard Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. If you come to the Big Island this is a must see!!!

I am also working on putting together a photography workshop here and will do my best to make this part of the package. I know many of the Island Breeze folks. They have been my Hawaiian fire dancers.

 Nikon D750 Performance

I just wanted to enjoy the Lua and not work, but I still wanted a photo or two from the night. I just took the Nikon D750 and the AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR with extra battery–that I never needed.

This is a wonderful combination. Extremely sharp images due to the D750 sensor and the Vibration Reduction of the lens.

After taking this photo of the dancers I went ahead and changed the Auto ISO shutter speed setting to 1/500. But I was surprised at the sharpness at 1/100.

Here are some more images from the night that you might enjoy:

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.

But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:

One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.

Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.

Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.

Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
