Thank you John, these are very thoughtful points you shared. I appreciate the honest and constructive feedback, and the overall learning experience this forum can offer. Gaby

Thank you so much.  I love the colors too.

I think this is a very good observation Fonduro. I should increase the shutter speed a little. Like I said, that was my first time using the lens on the D800, and I wanted to test the VR's ability....

I also purchased this flash to use with my D800 and the Nikkor 105mm Micro, and I have not been able to make it work.  I will download the new firmware this weekend, and try again. Do any of you...

KEV, I think you may be right. The D800 may require the tripod more so than any other camera.  I tend to not apply much sharpening to my pictures in post, but I should reconsider for these ones...

Azblue, I think you are correct.  I did not do any sharpening in lightroom.  I think I will go back and increase the sharpening in them.  All of them were taken hand held.

Thank you Greg.  This one was shot in a butterfly conservatory in Belem, Amazon, Brazil. I took many pictures, but this is my favorite exactly for the reason you described. Gaby

Thank you so much teseg. Like I said, the depth of field is impressive. This lens allows amateurs photographers like me to be our best. Gaby

Do it. I know it is expensive, but you will never regret it.Thank you. Gaby

Hi Pete, thank you. I don't know exactly the type of moss that is.  Maybe Celtic? I took these at The Institute Culinary of America (my work), and some were taken at the cemetery here in...

Hello Folks, I am fun with this lens. These are my first pictures with them. F Feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Thank you Buddy.  This camera still surprise me.  The BIF pictures are impressively sharp....

I forgot to add that all these pictures were taken hand held (even the landscape ones posted in this forum as well). I do have a great tripod from RRS I use with my D800, and I even bought a...

Thank you so much Ixpand.

I second this Rob's statement as well. I am relatively new to photography (about four years), but I am loving the portability associated with this camera. I take it everywhere. I mostly use my D800...

Your words are greatly appreciated.  Thank you Elliott.

Thank you Teseg, I really appreciate your encouragement. Gaby

That's it for now. Gaby

This picture, and the one right below it, were taken from inside the train, through the dirty glass window....
