Outstanding shot.......

Hummmm.....is she related??

 

[jstuedle]

Looks just like ya trav!

 

[The_Traveler]

I am torn - profound humility keeps me from agreeing but an unwavering commitment to the truth requires me to say that yes, it does look a lot like me.
There are some slight differences, age, height, weight, hair color and length, makeup choices, temperment and gender. Other than that, we could be twins.

I've seen you self-portrait, and you're almost as ugly as me!!!

So quit dreaming!!

 

[The_Traveler]

I've seen you self-portrait, and you're almost as ugly as me!!!

Stop giving me all that credit. I'm nowhere near as ugly as you are.

 

[PNA]

And I'll keep that honor.....thank you very much! :lmao:

Have you noticed who's back????

 

[Chris of Arabia]

Yes, you are... :thumbup:

I was thinking of "mysteryscribe".........

I do believe the old mantra of "Nikons Have Too Much Noise" is officially dead with the D3.

wow, That's some wonderful high ISO performance.

I do believe the old mantra of "Nikons Have Too Much Noise" is officially dead with the D3.

I hope what we see is typical and I would then agree. I am really looking forward to getting my hands on one. I have often thought that after all sensors are noise free, there will be a resurgence in film or software to add grain/noise to images to get that vintage look that we miss so much. It all runs in cycles, doesn't it?

You should have posted the official 6400 photo. Just as clean as the D200 at ISO520 :er:

I have not upgraded my cameras in a long time. If we can get those type of results at that high ISO, plus a full frame sensor, then I am in. It may finally be time to seriously look at an upgrade.

 

[The_Traveler]

This is an 100% crop from the official 6400 ISO shot.
I may come out of retirement to work towards this camera.

My dream setup is the 12-24 (have already in dx), 24-70 (ordered) and one of the better long zooms (considering).
