Got 3 more (Nikon D5000)

By [NR] admin | Published: April 6, 2009

I actually got in touch with the person who took those pictures. The location was Dubrovnik, Croatia where a camera crew was shooting a commercial (possibly for Nikon). The pictures were taken yesterday. I also got 3 new ones (click for high-res):

Update: forgot to mention that the camera used in the commercial shoot was an Arriflex 435. The above pics were taken with a D200 by a second person on the same location.
