First off, I wanted to say hi again after working hard for a few weeks now...so didn't have a lot of time to upload new work. I've upgraded my equipment from my Nikon F60 with 28-80 AF D 4.6 (or so) and 75-240 AF D (5.6 or something like that) to a as good as new F4s, including a 50mm AF 1.8 and my all time favorit 180mm AF ED 2.8 :) So I'll be posting a lot of new work soon. Anyway, here are some shots that I had developed this week. Made them a few weeks ago, when I was visiting a nice town...lots of boats, and it was a very warm and sunny day. (Very unusual for October!) I'd love to here your views on these!! I finally had the chance to take a lot of time, sitting at a table with a glass of tea, not having to worry about my equipment getting nicked while I'm making a shot :) Thanks & nice to see you're all so active! Bart

I used a Cokin Gradien filter for the sky (orange....they call it 'tabacco' :)

I don't often have the chance to use something as a sort of 'natural' frame. Not sure if it's too big compared to the small boat.

Another natural frame, although I wasn't able to get more tree in the front, cause there was all kinds of stuff lying on the ground in front of it.

This is so funny, they placed a giant toy (don't know the correct word for it), in the middle of this roundabout. I was sitting in the back of a car, so I didn't have any time to notice the trees in the background.

How much does an F4 run for??? Alpha man, with the equipment you got, and F4 is out of range? I dont even know the price, but Im already mad jealous... That nuclear mother of a sucker is my fav man, mad cool tinting.

Love the BIG Toy, but I never did leave childhood!

LOL :) Hey, Slynky, Alpha....you can find F4's at ebay and at some dealers. But it's very hard to find one that's as good as new. They're almost all mechanically and optically in perfect shape, but cosmetically it's difficult. Anyway, depending on the state they can go from $500 to $1000. I bought mine for around $900, since it's looks as new, it's been serviced by Nikon last month....it's a F4s (so the F4 with the mb21 drive) and it comes with a 50mm 1.8 AF nikkor. But you should be able to get a body for $600 or so. And that's not much money for a pro camera. (since pro medium format cameras go from like $2500+, pro digital for $5,000+ and other pro 35mm for perhaps like $2,000 or more for just a body.)
