Lloyd... I like your commute if that's your way to work. Mine is down a dark hallway, or just a roll off the right side of the bed

Matt... the D7000? Already? Does Nikon just drop ship everything that's brand new to your doorstep?
Great images. How's the shutter noise? I'm looking for something quieter than my D700 for street or travel. Or I just need to pony up for an M8/9. To do that, I'll need to book 3 of my biggest wedding packages... so if you guys know anyone getting married .... ;-)
Looking forward to a lil write up on that hawk. Chase Jarvis LOVES it. I would have no problem hauling that out at a wedding as a back up/3rd body or if I needed extra reach for a mile long aisle like this one....
I needed/wanted a 400 for this thing. It's the longest aisle in Chicago.

Steve: Thanks cuz. Much appreciated.:salute:
Jason: LOL. Thanks. Not too bad. My office is actually in my home, but I do have to run around a bit a times. I try to leave early, so I'll have time to shoot a bit if I'm going somewhere I think will be worth it. Truth is, it often makes me late for my appointments!! Oh well, it's worth it.:thumbup:Lloyd...

Tim: Thank you sir. I consider yours a masterful photographic eye, so I'm honored.

Nice shot, and very nicely composed, Jason. I like the b/w conversion as well. (Gorgeous bride!)Matt... the D7000? Already? Does Nikon just drop ship everything that's brand new to your doorstep?

Thanks Steve. We actually took the pix about 10 days ago, and he still hasn't put up the ads. We've had good weather, and I suspect the bikes have been getting some use, and he's dragging his feet on selling them.

Ha!
Used the HP4 conversion in Silver EFX. Just pulled up the brights a schooch in the tonal curve. Thanks for the kind words. Yep, seriously gorgeous bride. Groom, like me, is way overchicked.

Overchicked? Me too, bro. Me too. An affliction from which I hope to never recover.

Jorgen, a very uplifting capture. I can only admire the couple for the smiles.Monsoon season. Time to get wet
D300 with 80-200 AF-S @ 200mm and f/4.0
Well seen and framed.
Jason: I love this photo. Beautiful expression of the wife and the framing for this shot is gorgeous.Matt... the D7000? Already? Does Nikon just drop ship everything that's brand new to your doorstep?

Lloyd: While the BW is wonderfully graphic, I prefer your color one for the beautiful shades of autumn and the gorgeous light. Thanks for sharing.I think maybe I prefer this as a b/w?

Steve: Thank you! I saw your photos and figured there must be some "Fall" out there. This was the only tree in our yard that still had a little sun on it. I didn't want to strain myself and over do it.
Jorgen: Great capture of the happy trio! :thumbup:
Tim: Well said. Couldn't agree more. Jorgen's photos always have that positive, human, character.
Lloyd: Thanks.These really are great! Congrats on the new toy... er, I meant "tool". Yes, that's that ticket!
That's what i always tell my wife! I now have five expensive imported "hammers". The jpegs do look pretty good. I guess, I'll shoot RAW to one card and jpegs to the other for a while until LR3 catches up.Lloyd: This one has a really nice color palette. The light just catching the rock and grass and the glimpse down the valley really lead you in. Is that a really cool fence or a mountain bike "skinny"?Made a quick stop on the way to work this morning.

Chase Jarvis's studio's just down the street...somewhere around here. Did you see that film they made in the desert near LA! No "drop ship". Amazon sent me a "sorry we won't have your camera until mid-November" letter. I saw on NikonRumors that someone had purchased one at Best Buy before the release date. I went to Best Buy's site and ordered one on Oct. 15th. I expected it to change to "pre-order" all weekend, but it didn't. I got a shipped notice on Monday and received it on Tuesday. I then cancelled the Amazon Order. Pure luck.
I'm pleased so far. I wanted a smaller Nikon and this qualifies. It would be a good backup camera and for getting a little more reach. Haven't used the Q setting. Didn't notice how loud the normal settings were. When ACR supports it, I'll really get a better impression of the IQ. It's not a D3s, but I took some photos all the way up to ISO H1 2 (25,600) that were useable. HCB would think they were too good. No arguments from me on the M8/M9.
BTW: Beautiful wedding photo. I like the processing a lot. Excellent contrast while holding the detail.
Lloyd: They both work, IMHO. I personally like the warmth of the color one and that little touch of blue and sun in the background. My reaction could be because I was "placing" it with your other color photos.I think maybe I prefer this as a b/w?
Cheers, Matt
