Re: Photography Thread
Here is one of the shots I was set up for that caused me to have my camera all wacked out on High ISO settings the next day.
Not the camera's fault obviously, and hopefully I have learned my lesson. But this room was darker to me than it looks here. And I threw a ton of 'curve' on this one to brighten it up, plus noise reduction, and it still sucks, outside of the fact that there is no blur from slow shutter speeds which makes me happy. And even then this shot is only ISO 1000 on a camera that in it's normal range will go to 1600. It sucks past 800, but that's another story. I still love the D200, but this is NOT the place for it. This is HIS band...if you want to see him at his other job, check out this video on the yewtubes he is soloing at about the 2:30 mark, gettin all kid guitar faced. He's a great kid with great skills. Or about the 4:00 minute mark here: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3726/1...e5a47157_c.jpg Nick Black with the Big Band by Brad-(OLS), on Flickr |

is ALMOST as bad as the D200. It starts getting REALLY squirrelly in High ISO situations, blasting out color blooms and just pouring on the saturation. It seems to freak itself out. So in normal to lower light conditions, it is fine, but you put it in a dim basement music stage sitcho, and neither camera is really up to the task, if you intend to show your photos to anyone. The D90 looks a lot better at ISO1000 than the D200, but when it gets to 1600, it is beginning to come apart. Which in a way it should, that is it's ceiling basically. But there is IQ and there is IQ. At 1250-1600, the D200 is still giving you the same photo, just noisier. That is not the case with the D90. But now that I KNOW this, I can turn the color settings to totally neutral next time I try to shoot D90 in low light. |

Re: Photography Thread
Well Brad, I am trading away the Canon 60D I have for a Canon G1X. It'll be a much better vacation camera for when I go to CA next yr. I still have my Elan 7N film SLR though :D

Re: Photography Thread
All you Nikon honks..... I'm still bouncing pulling the trigger on a 7D.... At this point, half wondering if I should wait for replacement. Not so much for improvement, but just the kick in the shorts at buying a second in 2 months....(assumption on time)

Re: Photography Thread
Ron, I hear you on the fact that I am only halfway to death on that D700, but I am not in a hurry to spend
another 1200 bucks on a camera, so I only use it when I absolutely need it. What I DO need to do is start CARRYING it to places where I am not familiar with the lighting just in case. In fact I was just telling someone in New Orleans on Flickr that I am a fool if I don't take it this time, owing to the fact that I always shoot from about 3am to sunrise in the French Quarter. I end up throwing away over half the shots cause they are bleary and smeary. The D700 would tighten that up significantly. I never cared about losing so many shots, I shoot many shots of the same thing by reflex and experience, but that's before I had my D700. |

But seriously folks, I can see making the switch. Outside of showing people that your camera has a big lens or that your camera is bigger than their camera, there is no reason to saddle yourself to a full rig, unless you have to compromise on the sensor. |
Re: Photography Thread
Only real compromises with the g1x are af speed and the zoom range is only 28-112mm

Re: Photography Thread
Do you want to buy a cheap D50, D70, D200 or D100? Something to have on hand, you know. PM me for the prices. I know before you wadn't hearin it, but now things have changed I think.

Great Blue Heron. Normally they fly away at the first sign of human activity. Luckily the 70-200 lens was already on the camera in my bag.

Re: Photography Thread
This was shot with the 50mm 1.8G also. I am liking this lens a lot, especially since it pretty much sits in the camera bag, unused. Don't know why.
