These are great. The girl taken at ISO 1600 is particulary impressive. I still like using my K100. Who needs all those pixels?!?
Best wishes,

Lovely set - I really prefer the look of CCD photos tbh.

I had the Ds, not the D, and I miss it! My husband killed it and I have never forgiven him .

All comments appreciated.

My first DSLR was my istD, bought it at Willoughby's in NY after reading a review in Pop Photo by Herbert Kepler for whom I had the greatest respect.

As for CCD,it has something special that we've gone past with CMOS.

All except State Circus were with the 24-90mm. State Circus was with the 70-200 Sigma EX Mk 1.

Being a fan of 'curves' I can see why you snapped 'Rear glance'

Back on the photography though .... Moscow eagle is my favourite. great crop, exposure and pose of the subject.

The first three are nice archive shots which will of enormous interest in 50 years time. - Well apart from 'Rear glance' which is off interest now
