I think you have correctly identified an area of weakness I have when adjusting photos Jonathan. I have a tendency to focus on the one area I find needs work but do not see the photo as a whole.

This issue has been very good for my education.


I think we all tend to fall into that trap from time to time.

Another thing which can spoil images is messing about with them too much, I did this in the early days trying to find a way to get the image as I wanted it.

Now, once I find how to get what I want I start over and do it in as few steps as possible. I tend now to have a routine with a given type of image to reduce the editing I do to a minimum.

images can look overworked and tired!

Yes that is a good way of not introducing too many rubbish artifacts into the image.

Fortunately we have the NEF to use as a unedited starting point. I really cant understand why anyone would choose to convert to DNG and and throw away the original unless you are fooled by the Adobe speak. DNG is just another type of RAW file.

This is an excellent thread I found the other day.
http://www.openraw.org/node/1482/

Thomas Knoll from Adobe give the case for and the original poster argues against it.
I know which side I support. Sorry Thomas Knoll you may be clever but sometimes you are too much so and cant see the wood for the trees.

I think your comment about over working digital images is spot on. With all the tools available, it is too easy to go over board with adjustments. I have also reduced my time in front of the computer making changes. I now keep comparing the master RAW file to changes and evaluating if necessary or needed at all.

The D800 is far sharper more fine detail than the D3X so progress over last 3 years shows. Auto focus also quicker and low noise at high ISO is better, now back in UK will do more tests on high ISO and report back results.

I am unable at present able to comment on the D800E as I have seen no pixs as internet not been very fast while in USA and no time to look!

Thanks for all your work in reviewing the D800 on the road.

The only downside is I will have to wait till I get back from Austria in June, to hunt one down.
:-(



So, what kit are you going to take on your travels in Austria Eric and can we expect some photos?

As I dont have a D800 I will make do with the wife's D7000 ....when I can prise it from her grasp.

I will also take the Fuji X100 for general walkaround scenics.

And of course the IR kit will be in the bag. ;-)


It all depends on the weather. Its been very good weather in S.Austria this last few weeks. But I fear we will be taking the atrocious UK weather with us. Say a little prayer.

:praying:

I think the D7000 is a great travel camera and I am sure you will make good use of it's capabilities. Wishing you a wonderful trip and great weather!

That's good news Ed.
I'll be very interested to hear how you get on with it.

Whether the moire effects mooted are actually happening more easily or not.

Good luck.

BTW:   Do you buy your Nikon's from the small Nikon shop on the left hand side of the road that runs from the square where the SuisseHotel is located down to the river ?  Or some other shop ?  I never did find another Nikon shop in Basle.

I hope to collect it on Monday ...might take it to the US with me on Wednesday for a flying (36 h) visit.

There is an interesting comparison of D800E with Leica S2

http://blog.mingthein.com/...05/05/an-unfair-fight-nikon-d800e-vs-leica-s2-p/

Botton line ... Leica lenses are infinitely better than SLR lenses (which I guess we knew)
