Ron, smile --I understood that. Just that I wasn't thinking when I posted--non-originals don't help him much I realized too late.

Glad to see another Carolinian on this forum (actually I think there are more than you and I). I've enjoyed your photos of mid/east NC.

..all shot on L glass, with D30s and 1D over the last two years.

I'm more than happy that the cost of the kit is justified by the results, and I've seen that my ability to deliver has improved because of digital and it's immediate feedback.

Chris.

I would hate to think of the amount of film I would have wasted shooting butterflies and hummingbirds to get a sharp shot with a decent background.

Beautiful work Diane.....Were these taken with the lens alone without extensions or filters? Also I notice you love B&W. Do you have some B&W images you can post? B&W has ben a favorite of mine but I was never able to get where I wanted to be with my shots.

Change "Bogen" to "Gitzo" and we're in business ;-).

No question about it. It's nice that so many of you
have such great equipment.

But let's see the results. I want to see images that deserve to be
taken with $30,000 rigs.

Well, I'm not shooting with $30K worth of equipment, but I do have nice gear. My photo site is in my signature below.

considering buying into the Canon system (probably with a D60) if
the OlyDak doesn't show up at PhotoKina, but I want to be sure I
will end up with better images than I am getting now.

I don't know what an OlyDak is, but I can tell you, you will not automatically get better images with a new camera. Sorry, but that's up to you!

BTW, the "L" glass thing is overhyped here at dpreview, unfortunately. Get a couple of quality primes, and you have better quality than my L zooms any day.

Nice photos.

I should note, I also enjoyed **** G's photos (I checked out his site, too), and agree he should spend a little more time on it -- the photos are worthy of better presentation ;-).

I'll have to check out some of the other web sites in this thread.

No filters or extensions--I always tweak in PS as I shoot in RAW with low sharpness, I waver about low saturation. The lotus pics were taken in early mornings in my garden as was the butterfly with sunflower, altho' the swallowtail was taken near dusk.

My b/w that I have in my pbase gallery start with my G1, then the E10 and no D60. Here's one from Saturday morning.



Here's my b/w gallery--lots of b/w here (I often use duotones in PS also after generally using channel mixer or LAB).

I 'think' that Matthew is coming from an E10. The Olydak is the much hoped for interchangeable lens cam from Olympus/Kodak. It is reputed to be smaller, lighter, lens built for sensor, etc. I considered the same and finally was 'seduced' (LOVE that word LOL) by the D60--as I had been by the D30 but never acted upon. I haven't been sorry one bit.

Wonderful composition Matt. I wonder about the extra saturation of color. Are you increasing color saturation in your workflow?

cheers, Alfred.
