"testing, testing, 1,2,3"

Inspired title from well the need to test my recently clean D600! Yep I sent it back to Nikon for investigation into the dreaded Oil/Dust on the sensor issue that the D600 has been plagued with! Nikon responded by saying they had cleaned the sensor and installed a new Shutter Plate Unit, which I cannot find an explanation of the web? Just trying to understand what one is?

View On Black

But the main news is I only found one dot of muck/dust/oil on the image - shot at f/16.0 and for 220 seconds. However, what does concern me is the number of white dots on the image - I did notice these a few weeks back when we stopped at Loch Lomond and tried some night shots. I put it down to the end of a long day shooting and maybe some muck on my lens, but now after a big clean I think this could be hot pixels - as my old D80 suffered terribly with them! So the long and the short is I'm still not convinced with Nikon!?! I think this camera is suiting me well for Wedding & Portrait work but for landscapes and light painting I'm not convinced! Which worries me for Off Camera Flash and Studio work!

Anyhow thanks to ~Jules~ for inspiring me to try a Physiogram for a test shot, need to practice a bit more as not convinced I nailed the focus here, but I do think I may have bashed the camera when I was wafting my EL wire! So yep wafted EL wire to create the background, then lens cap on and then used a Quality Street wrapper over my light and then started the spin and lens cap off and hey presto.

Cheers for now and back to the garage to master this process!
