I had a chance to play with a D200 and a AF-S lens which belongs to a family member. The AF was quieter but no faster than on my K10 with 18-55 or 50-200.

there is this thing called 3G and GPRS allows you to get on the forum as long as you have phone signal

My preferred images:
_Gwyn´s shoebox photo.
_Thomasthehymer, excellent composition.
_Tyr´s Wood man, (+ 15% cooling filter?).
Congratulations Thomasthehymer.
Best regards.

I did ask people if they thought it was too warm. Nobody answered so I left it as it was. Slightly disappointed this time, but it means I get to try again next time. It is all about improvement and pleasing the current judje.I feel much honored with the 3rd place, (don’t know what I will do when advance two more places…).

Your screen, as mine,may need calibrating. The image is very warm on mine and I wanted a somewhat warm, fire-like yellow-orange tinge.
I really liked your picture, very humanly artistic. Just some kind of attraction to real workmanship.

Wood Man:
'A casual portrait at home'
Pentax K10D
Pentax SMC-A 50mm 1:1.7
ISO 100
1/60 sec
f/1.7
50mm
Single point tungsten halogen lamp for warm lighting and shadows. Bit of straightening, think my sensor or viewfinder may be off slightly (not a big problem though).
Now you have to guess how big it all was and what I actually used in the picture
It looks really good full screen at 1920x1200, the detail on the 'wooden man' is great.

The only thing I don't like is being able to see the softbox reflected in her eyes and say it is a softbox.
The kind of PP you do has its place and is what lots of people are looking for.

What about reverse mounting on an other lens. I am still trying to figure out how to calculate the magnification like that.
