Football season in full swing!

OK, snap here with a new post...finally! I took a break for a while and honestly hadn't come across much worth diggin' out the antique digital cameras for. Now that we are in football season, I thought I'd make a few images at a nice day game in Trumbull yesterday. St. Joseph faced New Canaan. St. Joe's held on to beat them 28-27. These images were made using the Kodak nc2000e, an amazing digital camera in its day. It's neat to be able to still squeeze a decent digital image from it all these years later! The first image in this group is also a part of the Stamford Advocate online slide show from this game:

Cool!

Nikon D2h and Kodak nc20000e comparison

Here's a side by side comparison between the D2h and the nc2000e cameras. Both images were downsized to 72 DPI at 9 inches across. The bottom image is from the D2h while the top image is from the nc2000e. I used a 70-200 VR zoom lens with the D2h and a manual focus 180mm f 2.8 Nikon lens with the nc2000e.
