Hi! MC> It was a real pleasure to shoot this with the *ist-D. For one thing, it was MC> fairly breezy while I was out, and getting shots of the flowers when they MC> are still is a real challenge. With the *ist-D I could just keep shooting MC> till I nailed a shot that was not blurred. Shooting at ISO 400 was also a MC> real treat - the quality still rivals what I get from ISO 100 slide film, MC> and the additional two stops really helped with shutter speed. I shot MC> almost 280 exposures - dumping them from the CF card to an X's Drive II as MC> the card filled up.
And I thought you were going MF... <kidding>... Are there any *istD produced pictures you-know-where? MC> Everything was shot with the *ist-D and either an A* 200 f4 macro or Kiron MC> 105 f2.8 macro. No flash used but I did use both a POP diffuser and MC> reflector in most shots. Which explains the mild light that there is there... MC> Comments appreciated - Unfortunately I cannot really pick my favorite. They're all good. Let's see: 4505 is very good and so is 4673 - the shadows make it live... As a matter of fact, I don't really enjoy pictures such as 4732, or 4596, or 4521. They are more technical and less lively. The flower is taken out of its surroundings and hence result is more academic, so to say. Of course, no offence is intended here, just mere statement of my taste <g>... My wife particularly likes 4753 which I agree is excellent too. Mark, I noticed that your web-site is responding lightning fast... Thanks! Boris ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED])
