Working with a D200 as a Prof. Photographer (pictures)

I did not notice that fact. So I tried it at home tonight. That is a much better size. However, even with 500 kbs broadband access at home, your site was a bit sluggish to load the images.

The images are terrific. I must say that I did not particularly care for your logo on the bottom of the model's bikini. I think that's going a bit too far. Excellent images though.

that SIGMA 10-20mm at 10mm to get even closer.

Unless you like the tunneling effect on your pictures, you will hate using the Sigma 10-20 on a FF camera. Try using the lens on a film SLR and you will realize what I am talking about. It gives one of the worst vignetting one can imagine when used on a 135 format camera.

Speed is significant and interesting but accuracy is downright fascinating

Loved everything. Great site. Love the snaps.
 
I like the design of your web site very much, and the pics even more.

Thank you for sharing.

Great captures and well turn professional website, can I ask how did you start of into the business of being a professional photographer / selling your pictures to clients, etc.

Very nice photos. Thanks for sharing them. As for the flash site... Even though it is done well enough, I still have to say that I hate flash as a cms. And it has nothing to do with speed. I just want to just get to the content immediately. Simple links with simple galleries that have forward and back buttons etc. is the way to go. Plus, I would like to just see the large size photos. Clicking on one version of the photo in order to see the full size version doesn't work for me. Of course that is just my opinion.
Once again though - Very nice photos. Good work!

the problem is that most people surf with 1024x768. Even though I have 1600x1200 and I would love to post bigger pictures - I had to find some solution. So I added the zoom function for people who have a better bandwidth and a bigger screen.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hey Steve,

Thanks for all the feedback.

I am astohned that the site was a bit sluggish to load. Its is really fast even on a dialup here as long as you don't zoom into the pictures.

Sorry about the logo on the bikini. Was just fooling around a bit ;o)

I moved from a D2X to a D200 but never had time to shoot them back to back. My only real gripe with the D2X was the tendency to blow highlights. DPreview's test of the D200 included a dynamic range evaluation for the D200 and D2X. THe D200 shows about 2/3 stop improvement over neutral gray. This represents my real world shooting experience with the D2X.

My point is that without having both camera's side by side, I can't tell how much of a practical advantage this is. I can say that with my D200 I need less negative EV compensation to avoid losing highlights but maybe my technique is improving?

Any thoughts on this?

I would agree that Flash is a complicated and difficult CMS. While I think the 4FR site looks nice, I would have to say that it does feel very much like so many other flash sites I have run across. Like the poster above my problem with Flash is not speed but usability… generally Flash just seems to stand in the way of showcasing, in this case, very strong images.

Amazing things are being done with CSS and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it slowly replace flash as an web animation method. It certainly makes more sense and is more accessible.

The primary difference between the D2x and the D200 would be noticed with event photography. Low light autofocus with the D2x or D2h cameras is amazingly fast and accurate. In the same light conditions the D200 will require help from the IR of an SB800 and respond much more slowly.

In normal light the AF on the D2x with its 9 cross type sensors is also much faster than the D200.

The one area where the D200 surpasses the D2x is in terms of noise at high ISO settings. I get more noise on the D2x at ISO800 (maximum setting I will attempt to use with this camera) than the D200 at ISO 1200.
 
Love your work. You obviously could do well with any camera, but the D200 is certainly a favorite of mine. I also use the 18-200VR quite a bit. It just simply produces some great shots and is a lighter combination than with a D2X.

I don't knw how to advise you on your equipment, but your website is FANTASTIC. great use of Flash and a super layout. Part of photography is presentation, and you've got that nailed.

Nice, nice work
