Nikon D800 advertisenent, by Canon photos & video!
« on: March 03, 2012, 11:23:15 AM »
As you all know, Nikon is just about putting their brand new D800 into the market place, . and different marketing & promotion activities are being commenced.  For example, Nikon Thailand, through an subsidiary marketing agency, is promoting the D800 by the help of some spectacular photos by the norwegian photographer and time lapse video producer Terje Sørgjerd.  On http://e-p1 dot net a couple of mr. Sørgjerd's time lapse videos has been previously posted .  So what's the 'facepalm' here?  Well, for Nikon, about anything and everything.  First of all, the thai agency never asked mr. Sørgjerd for his services, - just plainly 'stole' his photos from the web.  Second, - and dare I say more seriously, - and surely got the attention of the Nikon HQ-guys in Tokio, when Terje Sørgjerd made a call:  Alll of mr. Sørgjerds photos and videos are made with Canon products, - EOS cameras and EF lenses!  Mr. Sørgaard is a long standing Canon products user, and Canon is one of his sponsors for many, if not all, of his projects.

Furthering the story, Mr. Sørgaard tells that 'an agreement has been reached' between Nikon and him, - where Nikon now will pay double the normal fee for commercially using his material.

For the time being, Mr. Sørgaard is in Australia making a time lapse video of the Milky Way.  He has sold his Oslo, Norway apartment, his car and other belongings, spending two years 'on the road' producing a blue-ray disc containing photos and time laps videos from places he has visited the last few years, and are now revisiting for this purpose. The production is planned being marketed sometime next year. Here's a link the Nikon advertisement:
