Another batch of pictures with the Nikon Coolpix P6000
This past December and January I went to my native island of Puerto Rico for 20 days. I took with me a mother lode of Nikon SLRs and lenses for a models shoot workshop that was canceled at the last minute. So I decided to wander the beauties of the island instead with just one compact unobstrusive camera. For that I chose the Nikon P6000 (now discontinued) with an elegant leather case for the Nikon P series. Some of the pictures here were taken with the Nikon UR-E21 adapter and a Promaster 43mm Circular Polarizer Filter. I only used the polarizer filter when needed to maintain optimal shutter speed at the lowest possible ISO. In some cases I pumped the P6000 up to ISO 800 with acceptable results. Most of the pictures are Geo Tagged which I confess, the P6000 did a wonderful job geo-tagging the images considering how many mountains I was surrounded with, the margin of error was just an acceptable few feet. All these pictures with the Nikon P6000 show here come from NRW files converted with Nikon Capture NX 2 and minor adjustments with Adobe Photoshop CS2. Now that the P6000 has been officially discontinued, I just hope for a possible Nikon CoolPix P7000 with no more than 10 Mega Pixels, 8 will be enough for me.
Enjoy!
PS,
If you are interested on a Nikon P6000, check our affiliates B&H Photo and/or Adorama. They might still have used models available.
