Nice pic, cute cat. How close were you in this shot?
Thanks I was about 3 feet away.

Yeah originally I paid $1300 back in 2009. I'll probably never buy a body new again.

Which is about the minimum focus distance, I believe.

It'll be a loooong time before I buy another camera body. Unless for some reason my d700 gets ruined. But when I do, it'll definitely be used.
I've been thinking about trying to create some sort of low light high resolution camera system for my engineering senior design project. Going to start some research soon.

I'm gonna have to get used to the focus distance. It's going to be great for portraits though.

You could design what Nikon should have made, a D700xs. Same sensor but increased to 18-21mp and 1080p video.

I'd be down to enhance the sensor and whatnot, but I'll have to design something specifically applicable to the biomedical field. If I could do a condensed hi-res, low-noise sensor that could fit on an endoscope, I'd be pretty psyched. I'll just have to research what hasn't been done yet and try to do it.

Just as Jon is going to post a lot of photos of his cat, I'm going to keep the Guy Fawkes thing going. I'm having an easier time shooting in dim light with the full frame fantasticness, making it easier to shoot around the house. In addition to this benefit, I finally bought AAA batteries so I can use my trigger. Yeah, that's how lazy I am..

And hungry. Nothing to eat.

WOOT! I found some sunshine and Spring today! So what better than to get in a nicely washed car, and hit the backroads to Rabbit Hash?

Wasn't joking...



I went downtown to shoot today, but wasn't feeling it. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

I guess you are right, that cat likes to pose!

Nice pics Stenger! I assume the Ducati is yours? Sometimes I wish I would of spent the extra for a 748 instead of the GSXR750 I have, even though I have more bang, a Ducati has so much character and appeal.

Bout the best our cat, Midnite, has ever posed for me:

Typically she has this kind of look, "Get that thing out of my face! I'm having a bad fur day!"

No, not mine at all. I hate bikes. But sometimes, they photograph nicely, so that's why I took a photo of it.

Also, I see your lightning and raise you mine:

Spent the morning visiting with my parents, who live outside of town in a rural area. Ended up spending a good amount of time walking around the woods with my camera, playing with the 24mm.
