 Since picking up my D7000 last September, I've really unlocked it's potential as a great advanced amateur/semi-pro camera and I realized that it is still a worthy high-end DX camera for another few months. So I created the thread where users can post about the D7000 (and so I can show off my new pictures ;-) )

This weekend I was shooting the NCAA Div. 1 Women's Lacrosse Championship in New York for my school (the host site) and for the NCAA. I was asked to get stadium/crowd/fan shots and then anything from the game I got, I could also submit. After 2 late nights and three games, I am back alive and continuing to rave about my D7000 and 70-300 VR. 6 fps is plenty fast for me (after graduating from the painfully slow D40, I'm not the "grip and rip" style of sports photography) and shooting at 3200 iso was no issue at all. 300mm is actually 450 on the DX sensor so I could easily shoot action at 70 yards away.

Overall, I was very pleased with my photos, I found them (the good ones) to be only "above average." None of the jumped out as me as stunning photos, but I think that was more on the user than the camera.


Anyways, here's a link for my dropbox and you all can look at them as you please.

some notes: a lot of the photos were cropped, mainly to clean up some images of free space (grass, stadia, etc.) and some were taken with my other camera and lenses, which were: D40, 35 1.8G, 50 1.8D. The shots on the dropbox folder are from the championship game, but i also shot the semifinal matches earlier in the weekend.
