12/5/07 - Winter Walk

First snow of the winter. Not much. One month earlier than last winter. Just 10 days ago, this tree looked like autumn - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/89561328
Still loving the D300 - especially now that I've got it attached to the tripod (sort of - via an old D70 plate; Hurry, Kirk)
Ran some ISO noise test comparisons between the D70 and D300 - tripod, macro lens - and there is NO comparison. Fortunately I rarely ever shot the D70 above its minimum ISO. Having seen the tests, I never will shoot above the minimum with the D70 in the future. Really bad! If there is any interest, I'll post the images.

Nikon D300
1/30s f/11.0 at 34.0mm iso200 full exif

Ed, I'd be much more interested in what you've found on the noise levels with the D300, how does it behave in the 400-800 iso range? VR-BJ
