The good thing about a more sophisticated body is that you have more buttons and less need to browse through the menus. So the
timer function for instance is done via the main dial (single shot, continous slow (selectable), continuous high (in my case 6 fps), timer, live view, mirror up. On the D80 I used the function key to temporarily switch from center weighted metering to matrix, but now the D300 has a switch dedicated to that entirely, so I use the Fn button for a little hack that allows me to take 9 frames @ 8 fps.

Dr_Q, are you using a Nikon? Did you use the D-Lighting after effect? There some weird halos around the trees.

Ick...I'm overriding the one-pic-a-day rule to get out of the gear talk and camera porn

@Dr_Q, that looks infrared.

@Epp_b, nice film noir-ish shot.

Well, I haven't been shooting much but need to get some figurative work ready for my next thing. Going over some older shots, dragging this one out now:

No, I got incredibly lazy in my PPing when I processed this some time ago. It's a bit more noticeable in this colour space .

Absolutely perfect. I love contrast, I love the B/W conversion, I love it all. Great.

Don't know why, but for one reason or another, I love this portrait of a guy at a newly opened shooting range I did a reportage at today.
