How to draw candles step by step. How to draw a burning candle

The choice of a “system” for a photographer, from amateurs to professionals with a huge fleet of equipment, is often determined by chance - or, as many of us joke, by religious preferences. I immediately realized that for me “Nikon is forever” in the mid-2000s: in the editorial office of a small town there was only one “DSLR” - the editor-in-chief. It was the Nikon D70, which immediately amazed me (compared to my rather simple compact at that time) with its unprecedented speed - both in focusing and the furiously clicking shutter. In general, it was then that I decided on my system. Of course, it took me a long time to reach such “coolness” (and at that time, being seventy years old seemed like the ultimate dream!). First I got a Nikon D40, then it was replaced by a D3000, and then the older brother of my dreams, the D90, fell into my hands. I ran with it for quite a long time until I discovered that the dream had changed... And it had the code name “I want a fullframe!”

So I smoothly move on to the subject of my review - Nikon D610 full frame DSLR camera. For now, so that you don’t get bored of my memories, here’s a Kamchatka fox - my best photo ever, taken with its help.

A curious little fox against the backdrop of the Koryak volcano. Avacha plateau, Kamchatka. October 2015

I continue to feel nostalgic... So, I even remember the moment when I wanted a full-frame camera. Considering that I’ve come across opinions on the DNS forum that “FF is just a reason to amuse the emergency situation,” I think it’s worth dwelling on why change the camera to a full-frame one, forking out not only for it itself, but also to replace all the accumulated ones during the “crop” "glasses in the arsenal.

It was a Mumiy Troll concert. Night club, the traditionally disgusting light and Ilya Lagutenko meows joyfully in the spotlight. The concert was amazing, I took photographs with great pleasure. I came home and... leafing through the pictures, I started swearing loudly. Skipping the indefinite articles, it was: "Noise! ​​Smear! Noise! ​​Noise!" Having somehow created a reporting post with four and a half not the most disgusting pictures, I turned to dear MRZD, they say, make sure that I finally change the camera to a full frame... I won some competition or someone gave it... Or something else...

Lyrical digression: “Be careful what you wish for” (c) Route 60

Dear MRZD loves to joke. And it pushes people to fulfill their desires in a very extraordinary way. Literally a month later, I sank my trusty D90 on an exotic beach. From the word absolutely. At the service center they said: “Baba, you’re a fool, you’ve got a lot of things burned out, it’s easier to buy a new one...” The new one was the Nikon D610 Kit, which I incredibly successfully purchased from DNS (after six months of suffering without a camera, by the way - greetings from a dear MRZD!). The luck was that just then Nikon together with DNS were holding a promotion, returning 10% of the purchase price - they were enough for me to buy another lens and an external HDD, promptly filled with photographs;)

UNBOXING WITH ENTRESOLS

I, of course, wildly apologize for the crumpled box - it’s still not often that you review a gadget two years after purchase;) What’s surprising is that it has survived at all. In general, I, as an experienced Nikonist, have seen this box many times - their packaging is classic, the design is identical to most SLR cameras - only the photos of the cameras and their names change, and each time the box got bigger and bigger :)

Inside, in addition to a thick book, there is a user manual (by the way, rare case. when you need to read the manual not when you have already broken the gadget, but preventively - to find out all the possibilities, even get some tips on photography) and the warranty provider two more smaller boxes. In one of the “matryoshka” dolls there is the camera itself with a charger and wires, in the other there is a lens. I took the kit version - with a standard Nikkor 24-85. The version with a stabilizer and the maximum possible aperture opening of 3.5-4.5 at different ends suited me quite well in the kit. Although I planned later to take a piece of glass with a similar focal length - but a little lighter, but I haven’t gotten around to it in two years, which means I don’t really need it.

APPEARANCE: HANDSOME

The metal case, covered with textured plastic, with modern dust and moisture protection, with dimensions of 14x11x8 centimeters cannot be light. The camera itself weighs 850 grams with the battery installed. Plus a lens - depending on the strength of your arms and the desire to carry heavy loads with maximum aperture :)

Actually, weight is practically the only drawback of all professional and semi-professional SLR cameras. And for me too. The D610 has been my favorite for two years now, but often, when preparing to go on a trip, I am tormented by doubts: a couple of extra clothes or a telephoto camera, a huge photo backpack or a handbag with a mirrorless camera? I choose depending on my priorities - I don’t take it on a short trip without large photo plans, but I can’t go to different seas - Baikal - Kamchatka without it!

The body is equipped with rubberized inserts. Both on the body itself and on the included lens, over two years of active use they have not become loose at all, and they also fit tightly.

A lyrical digression: why is it good to review something that has been used for a long time, as opposed to a new item that you have just turned in your hands or used for a month - such details are also checked. However, I’ll say more about wear resistance below.

There are two “rockers” on the left side of the lens - switching the focus mode from automatic to manual and turning the stabilizer on and off.

The autofocus switch is also on the camera itself - below, under the lens release button. It is used in cases where the lens - without a "motor" - with a so-called screwdriver :) In addition to this, on the left side of the body there are two more buttons - flash and bracketing.

Top view - the controls are also classic for Nikon SLRs: on the right is a monochrome display, a power lever, in the extreme position there is still a backlit display, buttons for exposure metering (in viewing - formatting mode), exposure compensation - and video shooting. The latter is very convenient, by the way, by the fact that it is placed separately. True, by touch I sometimes confuse it with one of the “exposure” ones, but this is not a drawback of the camera, but of Anya’s absent-minded fingers;)

The built-in flash (which I use very rarely - but it's nice to have) and a hot shoe for off-camera flash and other accessories are also on top.

Pay special attention to the left corner - there is a shooting mode wheel. “Green zone”, PASM, separate flashless (I don’t understand why, if you have P) preset SCENE options and two custom ones. During the time I owned the camera, I’ll be honest, I didn’t use any others besides PASM.

Under the wheel is a dial for selecting shooting types - single frames, bursts, delayed, and so on.

Let's go to the rear of the camera - there is a rubber eyecup attached to the viewfinder. The viewfinder is a mirror one, of course. The 3.2-inch color display is non-touch. non-rotating I only regret the last one - and even then rarely. There is protection for the display, I took it off for the photo.

A classic set of controls, of which I would focus only on two lever-buttons: LiveView mode for photos and videos (it’s a pity that they are separate, sometimes I get confused, plus I regret that you can’t shoot video with the screen off, only through the viewfinder) and The multi selector with the main control dial is a four-way button with OK in the middle.

You can also display basic shooting settings on the screen if you don’t want to wander through the general menu.

The D610 has two slots for memory cards - and who would know how often this came to my rescue when I forgot the first flash drive (regular SD, by the way) in the laptop and ran off to shoot, or one of my friends needed to give a spare card. By the way, the camera eats cards up to 64 GB, I recommend using at least 32-16. It’s just that the files (even jeeps) are quite “heavy” and eight gigabytes will contain about a hundred pictures... For a photo-loving blogger, this, as you understand, is “nothing at all”.

All connectors for external connections - from a microphone and headphones to HDMI in the mini version and USB - are hidden under rubber pads on the left side of the camera.

At the bottom there is a battery compartment cover, a rubberized insert covering the contacts of an additional battery and a standard tripod socket.

Nikon has its own battery - lithium-ion EN-EL-15, with a capacity of 1900 mAh. Honestly, I never measured how many frames it lasted for me, because there were only a couple of cases when the battery died in the middle of shooting (if I didn’t forget to charge it first, of course). And sometimes I took 2000-3000 photos a day. The only thing is that now I’m still planning to buy a spare battery - I’m planning long-term shooting in the cold in February :)

The battery takes two hours to charge from completely discharged to fully charged. I usually leave it on at night and don’t worry, fortunately there is a charge limiter.

Finishing the topic of appearance... My camera and I have been everywhere! Of course, I tried not to drop him, but still he was already “beaten” by life. And how did this affect his appearance? It just got a little dusty and frayed in the corners.

GLAZER'S SET

My collection of “glasses” is very modest - only the essentials, as they say. During these two years I shot with three lenses:

Whale 24-85
- telephoto 80-200 2.8
- fifty kopecks - 50 1.8 (by the way, this is what I bought at the time on sale and exactly the same one is now being given away in a review competition, I highly recommend it to colleagues and future winners)

I also tried the universal Tamron 17-200 (in the hope of forgetting about changing glasses while traveling and, as a result, wasting time and dust on the matrix) but it didn’t work out - the picture from it seemed too soapy and flat to me. In general, I sold it to those for whom compactness and versatility are more valuable than “ringing sharpness.”

Speaking of the latter, it is, of course, mainly given in all its glory by a telephoto lens. I still have an old version of it, without a stabilizer. The new one actually works wonders. The truth is it costs as much as a car...

AND NOW - SLIDES!

Remember the old joke - a lecture about love? So we finally got to the slides and they will also be about love. Love of nature and photography, events and travel, looking at bugs and writing reviews. My Nikon helps me with all this (however, I’m not monogamous, I also have a couple of mirrorless cameras, but that’s a topic for another review;).

First - nature. Landscape shots in good lighting can look great on both a phone and a point-and-shoot camera, but mobile shots still don’t always provide a special texture or prominence to the image. Well, I dare to hope so ;)

Ice caves on Mutnovsky volcano - Kamchatka, October 2015.

Naturally, I shoot all the frames in NEF (Nikon’s raw file format) and then process them in Lightroom, but the possibility for processing is great dynamic range, allowing you to avoid falling shadows and knocking out highlights - this is what the camera provides. For example, I took the photo above in the twilight of a cave, and I managed to save both bright color the sky and landscape outside, and the texture of stones, melted snow vaults and a running stream inside.

Or - concerts. It’s not for nothing that I started my post with memories of how I processed concert photos, almost crying... So, now processing photos from different performances is a pleasure. Yes, there are still a lot of defects now (here the camera is not very lucky with the photographer, one must assume;), but the number of photographs that are not a shame not only to show, but also to sell on stock has increased significantly. The same Roxette concert is very popular with me.

Returning to nature - I constantly went “out in the open air” with a camera, I can say that the manufacturer’s words about moisture protection and protection from dust have been verified by me very thoroughly - for example, the “Three Brothers” kekuras in the photo below were photographed during quite rough seas - at the exit from the bay, our yacht was rocking, splashes were flying everywhere... And once a brave photographer (spoiler: not me, but my husband) was drenched from head to toe by one particularly brazen wave - along with his camera. So what? He went into the cabin, got a scolding from me and went on filming. We wiped the camera, not a drop got inside.

The same speed that once amazed me during my first acquaintance with Nikon DSLRs still remains with representatives of their line. Shooting sports or animals is a wild pleasure for me now. Of course, I promised not to post cats in this review, but tigers are something completely different, right? :) At the same time, I’ll boast - the photo below recently won first place at All-Russian competition"Nature and animals Far East" in the category "Amur Tiger".

Full-fledged macro photography should still be carried out with lenses intended for it, or at least with macro rings (they have been on my wish list for a long time, but still nothing :), but more or less close-up photographs of flowers or snakes promised in the last review can be done with a whale lens .

By the way, I didn’t mention it before, but one of the features of the camera is the presence of a wi-fi module that allows you to use eye-fi cards. But I expressed my opinion about them in the last Nikon review and this is what I regret: there is no full-fledged ability to control the camera from a smartphone and upload photos to it immediately after the “stock version”. It would be incredibly cool, so here's another drawback of the camera if you think the review is too richly flavored with molasses :) But this is the last drawback :)

In general, the only time I didn’t dare take a camera with me was when I “flew” over a sea bay on a parachute attached to a yacht. And I was afraid that I would drop it, and because of the weight and volume, I didn’t. But under the clouds in the basket hot air balloon went with him.

"These are all examples of photographs in good conditions for shooting" - a meticulous reader will say, and he will be almost right (concerts = difficult lighting, but we are not talking only about them) I tested how the Nikon D610 behaves in difficult light or low light conditions, as a rule, on production blog tours - no one will put up lighting fixtures in the workshops specifically for guests, and no one will open the windows wide open.

And here’s what’s good - you can raise the ISO on a full frame, if not to the maximum in the settings 25600, then safely to 6400 - the noise will be minimal. I didn’t do boring tests with different ISOs, there are plenty of them on our Internet - anyone can find them, I prefer to show how useful this all was to me in life. When shooting reportage, I set the same ISO to automatic, with a limit of up to 6400, and I simply don’t think about it. I know that I have enough quality for a blog and publications in the media.

Portrait photography is something that I have almost no need for, but important aspect for those who switch to full frame, making money with studio and event photography to order - from weddings and corporate events to girl photos. I don’t shoot in the studio, strobism for me is dark forest, I admit right away. But often portraits are published at events or on blog tours. Despite the fact that, unlike staged photography, there is not much time to “work” with this or that model, the result is excellent.

The D610 has an active D-Lighting function and the ability to do HDR (preferably on a tripod), as well as in-camera processing capabilities - from using preset filters to changing one or another image characteristic on a scale - sharpness, contrast, lightness, saturation.

But if in the case of the point-and-shoot camera I said that this would not be in demand by those who simply “take photos automatically,” then reviewing the full frame, I will say differently: I just don’t understand WHY this is needed by the main target audience of this camera, which. against. shoots in manual or semi-automatic modes and polishes the images with post-processing on a computer. In general, I have the joke in my head that “professionals_don’t_use space” and yes, this is photo-snobbery.

It would seem that when shooting from a tripod and at a long shutter speed, when the aperture is “clamped” and the ISO is reduced to minimum values, the main advantages of full-frame SLR cameras compared to their “cropped” younger sisters come to naught. And many will confirm this by demonstrating the unreal beauty of the photo. But it still seems to me that the pictures come out clearer. Well, or I’m justifying this to myself for the drowned previous camera and the expensive current one :)

I literally hear voices in my head (no, not schizophrenia:) saying that everything depends on the photographer. Yes, it depends and you need to at least know the basic camera settings, but I won’t say that the camera doesn’t affect the result. I don't consider myself at all good photographer, I’m just a button pusher, a blogger who records reality. For professionals, undoubtedly, photographs from both a matchbox and D4s (involuntary salivation, here we go... :) bear the general stamp of genius :) In the case where a person does not have enough stars in the sky, but tries to take photographs - quality and capabilities the device has a very strong influence.

And as proof, I’ll show you two photographs taken by my husband, who rarely picks up a camera and doesn’t understand shooting modes and other settings at all. In one case, he simply shot in P-mode, and in the second, he consulted me on the phone about “how to do it at a long shutter speed.”

A little about additional features cameras. Right “inside” you can set up time-lapse shooting, for example. Moreover, both separately images and with the formation of video at once. The only thing is that last year I was able to shoot long time-lapses, but this year - due to lack of practice - I got confused in the settings and only made a second video.

Stars over Koryaksky volcano. Kamchatka, October 2015.

As for the video itself - while using all Nikon DSLRs that have a video function, I highlight two disadvantages for me when using the camera as a video camera:

1. Autofocus does not adapt to changes in the frame, as it was set before shooting, it continues to do so. You can “tighten” it during the process by pressing the shutter button halfway. In this case, the sharpness “turns” several times and focuses on a new point.

2. By default, the internal microphone is very sensitive - at concerts (and more often than not I record videos there), its sensitivity must be greatly reduced, otherwise it will produce noise.

An example of a video is below (filmed handheld, with a heavy telephoto camera, a slight shake in the picture from there)

We are slowly creeping towards the end of the review (“Hurray!” rejoiced the husband, who was on duty in the kitchen and feeding Olivier to your humble servant, who was not looking up from the computer in the process of writing the post) and a couple more examples are already directly related to the participants of the “DNS Club” - photos for reviews I work mainly on the D610, so its capabilities, coupled with my curvature;) - can be judged by them.

Photos for the review of the alarm clock lamp were taken in a lightbox, on a black background - without a flash, with two light bulbs on the sides.

You can talk about the camera for a long time (“Oh God, no!” said the husband), remembering the focus points, the Live View mode, the quiet shutter mode... And so on, and so on... But this review has already exceeded all reasonable volumes, and New Year very close... Therefore, here are two more cards for you, as an example of his work and my conclusion - and I went to cut and eat salads in anticipation of Putin’s five minutes.

CONCLUSION: YASHMYASH, NIKON IS OUR!

In short: this is my camera. She is beautiful inside and out. Heavy, does not send pictures to Instagram by click, but allows you to create wonderful photos.

Yes, if Santa Claus suddenly brings me a D750 or 810... why waste time on trifles, Medvedev’s D4s - I won’t refuse and will be very happy. But I definitely won’t specifically change the camera or grow “even higher” in terms of technology. Do you hear, dear MRZD, DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING! I have not yet even studied all the capabilities of this camera, let alone matured enough to fully use them. Therefore, I’d better wish for myself in the new year some kind of ultra-wide lens, a light standard lens, a new tripod (the last one died in Kamchatka...) and a mountain of other little things...

And I congratulate you all on the New Year and wish you dreams come true, and also remember that if you teach a child to take photographs from childhood, he will never have money for drugs! Happiness and great moments to you - no matter whether they are captured in the photo or not!

Even during the local Ukrainian presentation of the new product, an employee of the Russian representative office of Nikon directly stated that there are revolutionary cameras, and there are evolutionary ones - and the Nikon D610 belongs to the second type. Indeed, making a revolution just a year and a half after the introduction of an iconic full-frame camera that costs just $2,099 is extremely difficult. However, this very evolution at first glance looks very modest - a quick examination of the declared characteristics turns into a game of “find 10 differences.” Finding them is extremely difficult. But what you can notice is the decreased cost - in one fell swoop by $100. The continuous shooting speed has increased by 0.5 frames/s to brighten up a boring presentation. Otherwise, the camera is extremely similar to the D600 - it has the same matrix, processor, viewfinder, display, autofocus and exposure metering module, after all, the cameras have exactly the same batteries and bodies. It turns out that this is not even an evolution, but some kind of facelift? Let's try to figure it out.

⇡ Technical characteristics declared by the manufacturer

⇡ Delivery set

Supplied with accessory shoe cover BS-1, rubber eyecup DK-21, monitor cover BM-14, protective cover BF-1B, Li-ion battery EN-EL15 (with protective cover), charger MH-25, eyepiece cover DK-5, strap AN-DC10, USB cable UC-E15, CD with software ViewNX 2. There are five covers alone! The standard kit also includes a universal AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm ƒ/3.5-4.5G ED VR zoom lens. For testing, we got a “carcass” with the well-deserved old man AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm ƒ/2.8G ED, which has been available for testing together with full-frame Nikon cameras for several years now.

⇡ Appearance and ease of use

The camera is not just similar to the previous D600 - it looks exact copy, and not only the size and shape have not changed, but also the icons printed on the keys and body. In general, if you close the nameplate on the front panel, as well as the information sticker on the “belly”, then even the owner of the latter will not be able to distinguish the new product from the D600. However, from a subjective point of view, the controls are very convenient, so nothing needed to be changed. Conservatism is not always a disadvantage.

The body materials are naturally of the same quality. And the assembly traditionally pleasantly pleases with the precise fit of the body panels and the absence of squeaks when squeezed. Like its predecessor, the camera under test was assembled at the company's Thai plant. Actually, the D610 is on this moment The company's only full-frame camera is assembled outside of Japan, but this did not affect the build quality - there is nothing to complain about.

On the front are the lens mount, face control dial, autofocus assist lamp, IR remote control signal receiver, monaural microphone, and a pair of programmable keys, one of which, by default, is, of course, responsible for preview.

There are no differences from the rear either. To the left of the display there is a row of multifunctional hot keys, above the display there is a viewfinder, as well as keys for switching to viewing and deleting mode. To the right is a rear control dial, an AE/AF lock button, a round eight-way key with an input button in the center and an equally round focus point lock selector around the perimeter. Nearby is a button for switching to LiveView mode, supplemented by a display mode lever (photo/video) when shooting LiveView, as well as a button for changing the display mode of the main display. There is also a system speaker, a recording indicator and a rear IR receiver.

From above - again no differences. To the left of the pop-up flash, complemented by a hot shoe at the base, are the familiar control dials, placed one above the other, both equipped with lock keys. The upper dial is responsible for selecting the shooting mode, and the lower dial is responsible for selecting the drive mode. To the right of the flash there is an additional monochrome segment display, keys for selecting the metering mode and video exposure correction, as well as a shutter button, supplemented by a power lever, the extreme position of which is responsible for activating the backlight of the segment display.

Below again, no changes. There is a tripod mount connector (ISO 518), as well as a battery compartment and a connector for connecting the battery grip hidden by a rubber plug.

The left side surface is quite heavily loaded. There is a flash eject button (also known as operating mode selection), a bracketing button, as well as a focus mode selection lever with an autofocus adjustment button in the center. In addition, under three rubber plugs there are hidden connectors for headphones, microphone, USB and HDMI cables, as well as a wired remote control. On the right, there is only a large cover that hides a pair of memory card slots.

In addition, the Nikon D610 body is perfectly protected from moisture and dust. The location of all rubber gaskets is the same as in the D600. You shouldn’t test the camera’s water resistance in a swimming pool, but you can safely shoot in rain and snow. Just don’t forget that the lens must also have the appropriate degree of protection - not all “glasses” in the Nikon collection can boast of this.

Display, viewfinder, interface

The additional display pleases not only with a pleasant green backlight, but also with information content. In this parameter, it surpasses the similar screen in Canon cameras.

The software interface will probably not be new to anyone who has ever held any Nikon DSLR in their hands. The menu moved unchanged from the Nikon D600, and there was simply no reason for changes. Here we have six main sections - the viewing mode menu, photo and video shooting mode settings, a set of user settings, a general settings menu, an image processing menu and a custom user menu. The menu items are also provided with fairly detailed tips, and the Russification is one of the most literate and understandable.
