Hey I got reptile picture too!

Took this one on the weekend. He's not afraid of me at all.

Another great photo DJ! The shadows and shoes are especially nice

He did nail the exposure of the following pebbles. You can almost make out the subtle colour gradients and delicate freckling.

It's DJ's thread. He can post whatever he wants

He did get the lizard to pose at least. I suspect he tried to get him to move left to be in the sunlight, but the language barrier probably made that difficult

Nail what exposure? All I did was pressing a button and the camera did the decision for me. Sometime I even let the camera do the composing.

How about picture of fish? (carp)
Took it on the same day too.

How about we get back to keeping this thread on topic? With that in mind, photos posted in this thread should have a direct association with discussing Nikon equipment.....not just thrown out to antagonize people. Let's not ruin an otherwise informative thread with petty arguing.

Crap, I was going to post a fat tree picture. It's very interesting.
By the way, who is using M42 lenses with their Nikon camera here? I suspect none? I am tempted to try but not really sure...

Wha?....You mean you don't live the angsty DPReview vibe that has overcome the thread?

Went to PhotoPlus expo. I already knew I'd love them but I had to check out the Mamiya ML28 (645AFD3 + Aptus-II 6 back) and some PhaseOnes and fall in love again.

I also tried the Sigma 50 1.4 on a D3. That lens is actually smaller than I imagined. I ended up getting the Nikon 35mm f2. Let me assemble my Halloween rig now.

We need pictures taken with your new 35mm f/2. Do you have pictures of NewYork street hot dog stand taken with your new rig? This thread is not complete without hot dog stand pictures.

No time to go out to mess with it now. I have to prepare for Halloween.

I'll be handing out some business cards to a new website which I am still working on.

Damn... guess my hotdog pictures should wait then..Halloween pictures will do too. When you're ready.

Do you prefer ketchup or mustard?

I think I'm happy with my copy of this 35mm f/2.0D from comparing photos from flickr and pbase. It can obtain some nice colors and contrast even at ISO3200.

It's important to me it's good at f2 otherwise, I'd just most likely use my Tamron 17-50 2.8 since it's more convenient. I'll have to compare to that len eventually though.

I'll be doing some Halloween stuff tomorrow Sunday. Should be fun. It'll be a pretest of my lowlight rig. I'll be using a flash with gel and mini softbox balanced with ambient.

Here is a picture I took with my D200 last night at Canter's Deli in Hollywood using my Sigma 30mm 1.4. This is wide open at a 30th, ISO 900.



That's jazz guitarist, Skip Heller.

See ya

Nice shot. I like how the couple is in the background.

Nothing beats a fast lens for indoor shots. I bet it's nice to have that extra stop.

I think I can manage with f/2.0.
