Adore the tones. What are those fish sock things?

These were some kind of stuffed fish dolls. I can't explain much better myself.
They were at a restaurant we went; my wife even tried to see if they'd sell one, but the waitress said they were not for sale - they were handmade by an employee of the restaurant and were just there for decoration.

Thanks.


One of the very last photos I took with my dearly beloved Nikon D200:

How cruel, forcing a camera to bow to its replacement before the oblivion of eBay or Craigslist.

The OCD in me says fix the cap. :dopey:

A significant and nice upgrade, though. Full-size sensor, much higher resolution, monstrous AF upgrade, and huge ISO upgrade.

To tell you how good the AF is in 3D Continuous, I shot about 1400 frames with my D7000 (same AF system) at an air show last November, not one frame missed focus!

I have to tell you I'm not much of an action shooter, so I haven't really put AF tracking to good test yet.

In fact, I might have to read the manual first, since the AF modes are very different now (including that 3D thing, which didn't exist on the D2, D200 and D80).

Having said that, I've already noted that the rate of keepers with the D600 is much higher than it was on the D200. I shoot wide open a lot and noticed this straight away. It is much, much more precise.


Also, just to clear this, my D200 is long gone now. I've been shooting with the D600 since December. It just happens that I still had so many photos from the D200 to pp and share that only now I'm reaching December '12.

Even so, I've already posted some shots with the D600, a few days after I got it; I couldn't resist... ;)
 
So, from here on, all shots should be from the D600, unless noted otherwise - I may still post the odd old D200 shot or film stuff.

Totally not critiquing your photo but do you notice the shades as the sky goes from blue to a lighter blue/grey? I wonder if this is a camera thing or my display.
 
We who live near coastlines in sunny humid areas (had to put sunny in there to differentiate from Seattle :sly:) See that horizon haze all the time.

So it's a sky thing.

Ooh, look. My avatar shows it, too.
 
Certainly does!

I understand the haze I just didn't think it appeared in steps like that in nature, thought it would be more of a smooth transition.
 
^ To be honest, I didn't notice that before. It looks almost like posterization, right?

Anyway, I've looked into the full-res image and I notice nothing of the sorts.
It may have to do with flickr's compressing/resizing...
Or it could be just some hazing, as wfooshee described; I'm honestly not sure.

Oh, and please do critique! ;)

OK, I understand what he was saying now. I didn't think anything of the steps in shading rather than smooth shading because I assumed the sharing site was doing something with it in compression. but Casey asked about blue to lighter gray, not distinct steps.... :)
 
^ I'm not sure either, but I think that's what he meant.

That's kind of cool, the balance between natural sky color and the streetlight yellow on the ground.
 
^ That's all that pic is about, if I'm honest. I was on the verge on not sharing it at all.

Thanks.

I like the B&W church/cathedral and I love the compesition if the tram.
 
Thanks. I think the tram shot could have been better, with a little more time and thought. For example, with a horizontal framing, focusing more on the passengers. Glad you like it, though. 👍

The reason I like the tram shot was the tight portrait orientation of the image but its naturally a horizontal, the juxtaposition is what make its a fun shot, plus only showing a few passengers makes it intimate on what would be otherwise a busy tram.

I also love that view in the latest pic. Again instead of just shooting off into the city, you get to see some people enjoying the view and it tells their story. Nice.
