I have been rather quiet lately in terms of picture posts so I thought I may as well post a few from last weeks roam around with my D80. It was a rather strange experience using a camera that is so familiar yet so foreign (I own and use F80's which operate the same way, the colour/exposure/AWB is quite unlike any of my other DSLRs), especially since it was coupled with a zoom lens (I have been shooting primes lately).

"More Vivid" mode - whatever happened to this option?


"Vivid" and spot metering works well


How could I resist that nice multicoating reflection?


Finding where the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 excels


Centre weighted metering isnt bad

#2 is nice, I know you were checking out vivid but had you considered monochrome?

#3 is an interesting take on a tried and tested theme

Great to see some pictures from you Cameron. Keep em coming.

see.. the D80 is a damn awesome camera!

That second image is great, simple yet complicated! you could process this a multitute of ways, from BW to polaroid and I think they would all work. Nice work cameron!

Thanks heaps all of you....

I was thinking that....contrasty monochrome would work nicely....on the netbook atm, but I may give it a whirl later on the PC.

I never doubted it Gerry, I have used D80's before, but that was a long time ago...this camera will be IR converted in the next month or two though.

I'll try to keep them coming...but if you need a fix of my dodgy pics keep an eye out here:
