Greetings,..... Merry Christmas!
Cold is an understatement last week in Beijing, China. The coldest winter in 10 years and we were there trying to explore its splendor. All were frozen but still no snow.... what a disappointment. Here are some pictures taken with my Nikon D7000 with no editing or Photoshop (as is where is). Hope you enjoy it as much as we do... cheers

Picture perfect scenery at this beautiful lake garden. The water is from underground Hot Spring and remains liquid throughout winter.

Hi moeyhc,
Are all the photos captured on Auto? I like the clarity of the Beijing Duck.
I find that the D7000 AF is quite difficult to master.
Just got the D7000 two weeks ago. Still learning but went paparazzing with my daughters snapping the Taiwanese stars "AK" during their gathering with their fans (AK! -thats what my daughter called them).
Also, looking at the 50mm/f1.4D lens for bokeh shots.
Regards

Greetings Bro sunn,
For most of the shots it was done in the auto mode... little time to fiddle with the control while on tour. The Duck was captured using the Scene mode for Food. I don't find the auto focus hard to use, in fact it covers a wide area of the scene to improve clarity. The most impressive part of the D7000 is the battery. It lasted a whole day on a single charge (>800 shots - non flash) in sub zero temperature. I even left it ON while not shooting as the little current drain will keep the battery warmer.
The most fun part of this camera is shooting into the Sun in auto mode... it does everything as shown below... Impressive
Do post some of your pictures HERE for us to enjoy .... cheers
