Here's a few pics from a walk about town on a beautiful, crisp fall day. Actually, the day before Halloween.

The spirits were busy preparing:

















Damned if I even found my pal flyman, out styling in his bastard skwerl costume:





Enjoy, everyone, and I hope you all eat way too much candy like I'm gonna do.....

Damn those are some great shots!!

Hye PJ, nice shots as always. Are these with your digi Nikon? Wow, no grain, no jaggies, nice color. Gotta get me one'a them.

paddyjoe

Hey thanks a bunch *Nikki* and juju.

juju, it is still my Nikon D100, but take a look at this:

http://www.calumetphoto.com/pr.jsp?p...00&t=e368&US=1

They're bringing out the D200. A bunch more megapixels for about 1600 hundred bucks. Still not as sweet as the D2X, but probably still a nice upgrade.

PJ, I don't know if you have read the following about the new D200, but it sure reads as a sweet new Nikon. Click here.

Jeez, no kidding TD. Just the changes just in these categories make it almost a no-brainer to upgrade:

durability - new magnesium alloy body

sensitivity - yay, finally slowed down to 100 ISO

shutter speeds - top speed from 4000 to 8000

white balance - looks like more Kelvin adjustable. maybe less guesswork

AI aperature ring - metering available with that old classic manual focus Nikon glass

battery status - remaining % and shots since last charge


Sweet looking rig for sure. Now I just gotta convince the 'finance chairman' what these changes mean....

Thanks for the link TD

That bus will be along any minute now... any minute... Really...

The features are getting better and bettter, for sure. I still like to compare the sample shots from dpreview because they are often taken of the same subjects, albeit from a slightly different angle. I think I've learned more form those than the actual review . Well, not really. I do know, though, that I really like the Nikon digital "look" compared to just about any other.
