In this charming city of Kyoto, every time I see the autumn beauty shared by Japanese travel bloggers who follow me, I really want to arrange a trip myself, and finally I am satisfied to enjoy the beauty of the red leaves.It’s just that what worries me the most before departure is, what camera should I use to record every unforgettable moment?
Yes, I chose Nikon D7100 to set off together, and I want to take photos of the famous red leaves in Kyoto as much as possible and share it with everyone!
As explained before, after joining the Nikon family, although the camera on hand has been used for six years, of course, some functions are not enough to record on the road. In the past two years, the major brands have made every effort, every single eye The fuselage is unique, and there are hobby users to follow. I always wait and see. I also consider the inconvenience when changing the system, and I am used to the color performance of the D80 in my hand. I am afraid that I do not like the color of other fuselages.Although I can make post-production adjustments, I don’t want to spend too much time retouching pictures after I have to write articles to share after I’m busy at work, so I will pay much attention to the tone and quality of the photos.
In 2007, the company staff traveled to start our first experience of traveling to Japan. I remember clearly that it was a five-day and four-night itinerary starting on 11/15, but at that time only a little red maple could be seen, compared to Geyou Via and Rolla. Waiting for the beautiful photos to be shared, it is still a week late to keep up with the best time to enjoy the maple.Therefore, when arranging the itinerary this time, I made a bet with this experience value. Fortunately, when I arrived in Kyoto, God gave us all the red maples. Looking at the colorful colors, like Japanese tourists, I kept saying "It's so beautiful!" .
Going back to the main axis of this evaluation and sharing, I will first explain the way I do it. I hope to provide you who want to start with a single eye as a reference benchmark value. This time the evaluation of Nikon D7100 has four directions. Most of these four directions are for everyone to travel abroad. It is the most frequently recorded film so that you can know whether it can meet your needs in terms of life and travel records! ^0^
◎ Nikon D7100 evaluation direction Part1 gourmet record
I believe that many people nowadays don’t want to use Blog as a place for sharing content in life records. They are used to uploading and sharing them to friends and relatives immediately after shooting with FB+ smart phones. I want to shoot with a single eye, but the most difficult thing to control is the "restaurant lighting"!There are yellow, white or even very dim, how can we take the appropriate color of the photo?In addition to understanding what color temperature and white balance are, you also need to know how to enter your camera to adjust the K number of white balance, and you need to be proficient in taking pictures and choose the appropriate light source.
but!I don’t like to manually adjust the white balance when I take pictures. Besides, manual adjustment has already failed everyone, so I think the advantage of Nikon D7100 is that the white balance is very accurate. I only choose the white balance auto1 and the white balance during the shooting process. Auto Balance Auto2 keeps the warm colors on the spot." I am quite satisfied with the color tones presented during this trip to Japan.
※ Food Record: I hope everyone can see the color performance of Nikon D7100 for yellow and yellow light
[ㄟ~ Isn’t it Japanese maple viewing?How come there is a doughnut circle? ]
[Ah!This is when I got the camera before I went abroad, I first took pictures of Taiwanese food for comparison! ]^^b
▲ When shooting muffins, I was worried that the colors would be weird (because there is a large area of sunlight near the window), but it was not bad!
▲ In the skewers shop in Osaka this time, although the indoor light source is white, the food itself is yellow. I think Nikon D7100 handles it very well.
[ㄟ~ McDonald's? ! ]
[Yes!The Japanese currency finally fell to the exchange rate of 0.294, but I still need to save a bit of food! ]^^b
▲ Soba noodles and fried shrimps are under a yellow light in the store, I still choose white balance auto, what do you think of the color of the photo?
◎ NikonD7100 evaluation direction Part2 sunny and cloudy with occasional showers
When I came to Japan this time, the weather in Kyoto was just like the title, "Clear and cloudy with occasional showers."This time I also want to try the performance of Nikon D7100 for different weather scenery records. You can see from the photos below, how good the weather looks, and even the sunset color temperature in the evening. The colors of this unit are very pleasing and not too bright ( The PS body has a very diversified photo tone control. Those who love bright and high saturation can enter the Menu setting), and the maple red or ginkgo itself has rich color levels. This must be balanced. Many other brand cameras also Can record rich colors.
But I hope you guys will take a look. I chose to take a few photos under cloudy weather, mainly to test whether the D7100 can control the low-light conditions and whether the photos will be flat. Generally, I like the tea garden very much. After the filming, I liked that the mountain view was slightly hazy, and the tea tree green in the front was dark and light. I quite like this style.
※ Evaluation photos under different weather
▲ The beautiful morning view that I saw early in the morning when I checked into the Osaka Hotel.
▲ The picture quality and tone of Nikon D7100 are presented, with a touch of D80!
▲ When these two shots were taken, it was sunny for a while and cloudy for a while, and it took some time to wait when taking pictures.
▲ The biggest gain of this trip is to bring back the full color gradation!The following photos are all! ^0^
▲ Walking down the trail, I found that there are such colorful maple leaves from top to bottom.
◎ Nikon D7100 evaluation direction Part3 night scene photography
When you go to Japan to enjoy the night cherry blossoms, night maple, or the Arashiyama Lantern Road in December, tripods (including monopods) are prohibited in many places. At this time, if you want to record the beautiful scenery in front of you, you can only fight for the high ISO and large aperture lens in your hand. !According to my own experience, it’s not a big problem to record night scenes with a full-frame camera and mirror lens. Hand-held shooting is supplemented by careful observation to find a small place to fix. The photos will be beautiful, but I believe you don’t necessarily want to carry "heavy equipment" everywhere. Let's make it!Besides, it is possible that you will have to bring children or you may not have the budget to buy equipment of this level.
The Nikon D7100 body can be set to ISO 6400 (maximum 12800). With this evaluation Kit lens 18~105mm, when shooting in Taiwan, I found that this lens has a recent focus shooting distance of 45cm. No wonder I flipped the camera and couldn’t focus.In addition, I was worried that the aperture of the night maple lens was not large enough, so I rushed to buy the Nikon 28mm F1.8G with a high CP value before setting off.
I would suggest to shoot night scenes, ask for something first, then ask for good, to be able to record the current scenery. As for the image quality or the noise in the photo, I think it is secondary. Later, I can adjust it slightly through the software. This time I shoot the night scene with both lenses. There is a matching shooting, 28mm F1.8G shooting small wide-angle end panorama, 18~105mm zooming in the far end of the maple leaf, the overall shooting is much better than the original D80 (this is certain, the body age is different), Compared with the 14~24mm F2.8 mirror king lens that was brought at the time, it is much lighter!
※ Night scene shooting (the photo with beautiful starburst is taken with 28mm F1.8G)
▲ On the first day, we rushed to Tsutenkaku to take a look at the scenes from the Japanese drama Hansawa Naoki.
▲ Compared to the whale with the huge LED light in the Aquarium Aquarium, the cute penguin in front is better!
▲ 11/24 Kyoto Station completed the Christmas tree lighting.
▲ The scene of Yefeng is very dark. If you carry ordinary DC or monocular paintings, it will not be easy to succeed without the aid of a tripod.
▲ I also uploaded the above photos to the Picasa album. The photos have detailed information.
