Great shots, I love #3 and #4 most, great "visual transformation" of the haunted house theme. cheers Thomas

Nice shots! Great idea and compositon on #1. Cheers Thomas

Thanks guys for the nice comments. :) cheers Thomas

I'm not sure, $1200 for a license to use what you build with this software??? And it's just a head-mesh, some morph features and a photo2texture tool that will be shiped with Poser 5 anyway (AFAIK). But maybe I miss something?? cheers + peace Thomas Oh, and I didn't see any hairs on these heads??

No comparison to a good macro lens but I think one can get along
with this for some "everyday shots".

I think the one who told that photography is painting with light, had a picture like this in his mind. Fantastic work! Thanks for sharing. Thomas

I would agree with starshuffler,
love the lightning in #2, though the others are great shots as well.

cheers
Thomas

Great shots, I like #3 and #4 most, good composition. cheers Thomas

Thanks guys, guess you're right, so back to the drawing board. ;) cheers Thomas

@Bsteph,
to be honest, the church was just a test-shot for this new
matrix-metering-feature on my new camera.
It looks quiet boring, so I tried to enhance it a bit in Photopaint.

I'm glad that you all like the second one.
Shooting landscapes is a neverending challenge for me and
there are very few pics that I would dare to show.
But this one is not too bad I guess.

cheers
Thomas

Oh, and any comments are welcome of course,
especially the honest and cruel ones. :)

You can use manual lenses in manual mode on the F80/N80 (every other mode will give you an error) but metering will not work, not even in manual mode. Not sure if this is true for the D100 as well. Furthermore focussing is a bit tricky without any support from a focussing indicator or the like. I also doubt that TTL-flash metering will work with a MF-lenses but I never tried this so I'm not sure here. hope that helps Thomas

He He, there was a lot of my "dinosaur-opinion" about how a lens should look and feel in this statement, Sorry. :) I wouldn't buy one because they don't have an aperture ring and so they won't work with mechanical Nikons, like the FM2 or FM3A. (I'm still planing to get me one of them) Futhermore even their mount are made of plastic and I dont like this at all. But that's just me! If the lense performes well, you only want to use them with newer AF cameras and you don't expect them to be build for eternity, why not? As for the microchip, every "G" as well as every "D" lense has this microchip. The only purpose of this chip is to give distance information for the 3D matrix metering and the 3D TTL-flash metering. cheers Thomas Oh, and I found another good Nikon site with a brief description of all these signs: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech.htm http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/nikortek.htm
