Yes another Nikon body for me.....this time a Nikon Factory Refurb D80 (this one arrived with 628 shots on the clock) destined to be converted for infra red. For the moment this camera will be kept stock until my D300 returns.

I really like this shot Cameron.
Congrats on the new body.
The 60mm macro looks new, thanks again.

Colin,

Nicely seen. Well done.

wow how do you find a D80 with 680 shots!

Great capture here though.

Suren, thanks, it was being at the right place at the right time...shame about having to use high ISO (800 really is the limit on a D80) and a slow lens (18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 was all I had) but it turned out well.

Where do you find a D80 with sub 630 actuations? Well this one is a Nikon Factory Refurb that I picked up via Camera Action...I was going to get one directly but the guys in Melbourne snapped them all up before I got to them

Are you going to do a Lifepixel conversion on this one? They have a sale on at the moment. $250 I think.

Beautifully crafted abstract image Cameron.

Fantastic image. Love that orange tone.

I'm not keen on doing a conversion myself, and definitely not keen on sending the camera that far away. I was thinking either Camera Clinic (Melbourne) or another option that I am waiting on some info on.

Thanks Chris

that image looked sh$t hot on the phone and still looks sh$t hot on the PC. Very nice image and in my books a very worthy option for potw, simplicity at its best.

In a word... refreshing!
