I have a thing for Surfboards

Heard from Nikon today.... $650 to fix my camera plus another 2-3 weeks before I get it back!! I dropped it off December 30th because the mirror wasn't closing fast enough and the majority of my images were half black. The problem started about 6 weeks before and went from 1/10 shots to 8/10 shots. I couldn't take it any longer. I'm going to do some research tonight on the D750 and D810. I might just trade it when it finally returns. I've had it for 4 years and taken a LOT of photos. I miss it!! So... I continue with Waikiki photos for now.


Wow lots of surf boards. What is wrong with your camera? Sounds like you gave them the okay?

@lesip I updated my commentary to explain.
January 24th, 2017  
Gorgeous shot. Looks so warm and inviting like summer!
January 24th, 2017  
Ouch! That's expensive! What's wrong with it? Love surfboards too. My husband and eldest son are keen surfers so I am surrounded by them too...
January 24th, 2017  
That's a shame about your camera but also a good excuse to upgrade ;) nice shot of the boards, the palm tree makes a great frame.
January 24th, 2017  
Nice lines and colors. Even the palm fronds have lines and color!

I have the D750, I love it. I heard the 810 can be hard on the computer but not sure how true that is
January 24th, 2017  
@kwind so I guess that means it's getting a new shutter. I upgraded to the D750 when it was released. No complains or regrets choosing it. I still enjoy my D5100 too because I get the extra reach and it's smaller and lighter. If I didn't have so much invested in lens I would really like to look at the Sony because of it's size and weight.
January 24th, 2017  
Oh dear! That's frustrating to have to replace your camera, but kind of exciting. I have the D610 and am happy with it. Full frame, but not as big as the 810.
January 24th, 2017  
And of course a terrific image with the repeating boards in different colors.
January 24th, 2017  
Wonderful! Sorry about the camera.
January 24th, 2017  
Great shot! (Stinks about your camera.)
January 24th, 2017  
Like your pov and the wonderful color - miserable about your camera!
January 24th, 2017  
Fascinating shot. Great color.
January 24th, 2017  
Fascinating shot. Great color.
January 24th, 2017  
Cool shot!
January 24th, 2017  
Very summery!!
January 24th, 2017  
Oh, dear. Lovely repeating shapes and summery colors. I am going to have to send mine in for some work, too. Like getting an amputation. ;)!
January 24th, 2017  
Cool angle and perspective...love the palm tree in the shot
January 24th, 2017  
Great colours and angle nice shot
January 24th, 2017  
Really like your composition
January 24th, 2017  
I also like your composition - - but so sorry to hear about your camera
January 24th, 2017  
Great POV and colours - shame about the Nikon!
January 24th, 2017  
Lovely summer image Kim, great colours & perspective! You get a new one, you use every pennies worth!
January 24th, 2017  
It's always the problem today. It costs so much to fix something that you almost end up being better off buying a new one. Frustrating. This is a lovely image. :-)
January 24th, 2017  
Another brilliant photo. Good luck with the camera -- you are making me nervous -- mine is just shy of 30k clicks, having lived a fairly hard life -- hasn't missed a beat yet.

Word is that there will be a D810 replacement this year -- so marked down D810, or a D850 for probably more money? http://www.dslrbodies.com/newsviews/2017-glass-filling-or-empty/

p.s. your D90 is pretty kick ass :)
January 24th, 2017  
Beautiful shot and composition.
January 24th, 2017  
Superb POV on this and I love the composition. An instant FAV!
January 24th, 2017  
You have had some outstanding photos lately. Just remember, it's more about your talent than the camera!!
January 24th, 2017  
bummer about your camera. I have the 810, too and had to send it off for repair once. Tough to be apart from them, isn't it? Images of Waikiki will do! I like your perspective and the light here.
January 24th, 2017  
I feel for you, but try and look on the bright side
January 24th, 2017  
Lovely colourful image
January 24th, 2017  
Fabulous photo. What a shame about your camera.
January 24th, 2017  
fav - this screams holiday to me :)
January 24th, 2017  
Love the colour and pov
January 24th, 2017  
Ah, holidays. Great colours and pov.
January 24th, 2017  
Wonderful holiday mood. To be there!
January 24th, 2017  
Super pov and capture. Fav!! 😀
January 24th, 2017  
Great shot
January 24th, 2017  
Our son too, he use them for sport sailings. Great shot with nice colors and lines
January 24th, 2017  
Lovely capture
January 24th, 2017  
This is way cool, check out mirrorless full frame, less bulky & heavy📸
January 24th, 2017  
What awful news:( What will you do? Get something else? LOVE your photo. Hope you get your camera situation sorted soon!
January 24th, 2017  
@alophoto It will be fixed but I'm thinking I might just trade it in and get a new one. I started researching last night and now I'm even more confused.
January 24th, 2017  
very nice comp. it's so Hawaii! hope your camera problem gets sorted out soon.
January 24th, 2017  
Congrats on the PP with this. Very cool !!
January 24th, 2017  
Bummer about your camera.
January 24th, 2017  
Fabulous colours. Shame about your camera
January 24th, 2017  
This just says summer! Great colour.
Shame about your camera. I like the D810, I've only had it a few months but really pleased with it, it's fast and it focuses well in low light. Good luck with your research!
January 25th, 2017  
Wonderful colors and composition.
January 25th, 2017  
Great PoV
January 25th, 2017  
Wow love the colors and pov..............good luck with your camera decision!
January 25th, 2017  
This makes me miss summer so much! I hope your camera is fixed soon - I'd be lost without mine
January 25th, 2017  
I love your pov and those fun colors! Looks like a postcard...so inviting. Good luck with your camera situation. I hope it all gets resolved soon.
January 25th, 2017  
Beautiful capture!! You may consider the D500 if you're interested in a cropped sensor (I have a D4, D800 and D500. My favorite for most pics is the D500)
January 25th, 2017  
Very colorful! Sorry about your camera but it sounds like you'll get it worked out.
January 25th, 2017  
This composition is just fantastic. Love the colors too. So sorry to hear about your camera - my shutter broke a while back and I felt like I lost a limb. I hope it returns sooner than expected!
January 25th, 2017  
Sorry to hear about your camera. How frustrating. This hot is lovely - a real holiday postcard shot.
January 25th, 2017  
Love this one too ! I think I have almost the same ;)
January 25th, 2017  
Great capture...Fav
January 25th, 2017  
A very neat POV and so cool how you also included the palm tree!
January 25th, 2017  
Quintessential Hawaii photo! I like the shared verticalness of the boards and the palm. Cool comp.
January 26th, 2017  
Lovely shot of the surfboards. We saw them lined up, too. A new camera sounds awesome.😊
