I thought I'd try my new camera
It was a very drab dull yesterday, not really suitable for photography so I thought I'd try out my new D300. The following pictures were all taken at ISO 1600 due to the very bad lighting conditions. From these results under the conditions today, I'm very pleased.

Nice shots!
In spite of popular misconception, overcast days are better for photography, in many respects, than sunny days. Much less contrasty conditions and the lighting is much more even. It looks like the D300 has excellent high ISO performance |

These were taken with a Tamron 200-500mm. I usually use a Nikon 300mm 2.8VR with a X1.4 or X2 teleconverter. It's too heavy to lug back and forth to Saudi where I work so the Tamron gets put in the bag as it's a lot lighter and I've had some good results with it.
Here's an example of the Tamron lens in good light.

Now if I'd said things like ball pein, cross pein, planishing or repousse, would that have been OK?

Hey Adrian,
In that picture, shouldn't that idle bird be scratching something else?

Great pics AJ. Is that first bird married? Wondering under what circumstances he got banded. Is that common among birds in the wild? Gotta love the Nikon D300. I recently picked up a D80 and am having a little buyers remorse. Great camera but the D300 has some great technical advantages. Have fun w/your new toy...

Very nice work AJ.
Have you tried the live view feature yet? It takes a little bit of getting used to, but it works pretty well. The D300 is a sweet camera. |

At ISO 1600 that's amazing clarity. The new processing system in the D300 is a step up from previous Nikon technology.

Yes but it's a feature I don't think I'll use much.
