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!!

jujueye · 11-02-2005, 06:15 PM

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 · 11-02-2005, 06:26 PM

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.

tropicdiver · 11-03-2005, 04:28 AM

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.

paddyjoe · 11-03-2005, 04:57 AM

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

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.
