BeautifulThis past Friday I decided to treat myself and the 645D to a late afternoon at the beach. Here is an HDR of the illuminated Manhattan Beach pier. Shot with the A200mm.
Thank you very much KCONE.This is a real gem.
I agree Escherest, think I made that word upThanks Dave. In color this image is less interesting; in B&W it reminds me of an Escher print (without the symmetry).

Thanks Steven. The 400 is an excellent lens, in the same league as the 75mm, but not quite up to the 120. Shutter vibration can be an issue. How's your tech camera experience progressing? You could always add a 645D to your bag too .Tom,
Excellent images you have posted especially the B&W birds.
I am really missing my 645D "abound" has mine now...
The 400mm FA looks like a real winner to me. Great stuff everyone.
Steven
Sergio, great looking aerials with details and its interesting that there is no evidence of morie'. Tried some a few years ago with D2x and D3 with moderate success but I suspect the 645D brings it to another level.Thanks Steven.

Steven, I look forward to looking at your images taken with your tech cam and rollei hy6 late this evening....but if I tell you you're not doing OK with your current set-up, will that get you to return to using the 645D?Tom and Dave, I'm actually doing ok with my setup.
check out kuau.com and go to the telluride section, all images taken with either my tech cam, or my rollei hy6.
Tom, yep on my old 300mm fa f4 which I got from dave, shutter vibration was something I had to deal with also..

Dave, Really love the images...sea spray and all! Great capture. The one with the seagull would make a lovely print to hang up, especially printed fairly large. Whew, glad there was little damage to your lens other than filter. It's moments like this that would cause my heart to skip a beat.Yesterday (Dec 28, 2011) we had a wildly windy day here (a NJ barrier island). Fronts like this usually bring dramatic skys, and the 40 plus mph winds blow the sea spray when the waves break, making interesting photos. I got two "keepers" from my shoot. 645D, 75mm lens, polarizer, f13 at either 1/125 or 1/250, tripod mounted. Had a near disaster: The wind was so strong it blew my tripod over with camera and 35mm A lens on it nose first into the sand. I had a plastic grad filter on it which got smashed into a million pieces, but it did protect the front element. Home, I used a small paint brush to sweep away the dry sand, then used a lens brush to clean the front element. A pin point spot on the lens coating is the only casualty!
Thanks for looking
Hi Peter,Steven,
would you actually recommend now (today) buying a 645D? I am still stuck with H3D39 and think about moving into another (cheaper & more versatile) system.
Thanks
Peter
Thanks Dave. The weather sealing really helped protect the camera, as the sand here is very fine, like talcum powder, and is capable of getting into everything. I am one of the people that always leaves a high quality MC UV filter on every lens, at all times. 99% of my work is seascapes here on LBI. The sand blows and stings, there is salt spray, and corossive salt air here.Dave, Really love the images...sea spray and all! Great capture.
