HOT! It kind of looks like it is smiling (or I could be up way too late).

Nice capture. How's the D300? Loving I take it?

Nice one Mark - just wish the face was in focus (edit - maybe its my monitor?) - but I bet you are having fun with that combination

Very cool Mark.

I'm curious though about the ISO 100 - was it a conscious decision to shoot at L 1.0 (ISO 100 equiv) or do you just keep your camera set at this normally? Did you shoot any at ISO 200?

Just seeing how people are setting up their D300.

:wink:

Thanks for the comments folks

Simon, I have been experimenting with the different ISOs to see what, if any difference, there is in the quality.

The documentation I have read suggest that the D300 and D3 will provide the best results at ISO200 and that the lesser ISOs would only be used where a slower shutter speed was required or there was too much available light.

Time will tell, but it's a lot of fun finding out

Cheers Mark. I thought it was a case of experimentation. Certainly seems to have worked nicely.

Haven't even looked at that yet :roll:

I must say that although the camera is similar physically to the D200 it really is a whole new ball game
