All first rate!
So many pictures, so little time!

A vendor and her tomato, which weighs in at over 2 pounds! I'm loving the 105mm on this camera.

Oh ya, could you send that tomato up to Oshkosh. I'll pay shipping!

Trying out the new toy - 28-45 4.5 zoom. This is a large lens which I find hard to focus. Unfortunately the weather yesterday was very unhelpful - heavy overcast and I only managed one or two exposures. I'll see how it goes this week. (To avoid going back and forth in non CPU I've named this one "25"mm)

Very cool picture! I like the drap colors. The three horizontal zones, the sand , the green stuff and the water.
Really nice composition!

Some first experiences today afternoon with a reversing ring (BR2A) plus a wide angle for extreme macro.

Extreme macro with a reversed Nikkor 24mm f/2 at f/16 by labecoaves, on Flickr

Screw detail of the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AI-S meter coupling shoe.
Another test of reversing a wide angle for extreme macros.
D7000 + BR2A reversing ring + 24mm f/2 AI-S + tripod, ISO 500, f/16 at 1/2s.
Even at f/16 the DOF is tiny at this magnification.
The exif shows f/2, but is wrong.
This reversed lens magnifies 2.6x, but as the shot was made in a DX body, the real magnification was 2.6 x 1.5 = 3.9.
I think my 50/1.8 needs urgently a "micro cleansing"

Are you kidding me

That is unbelievable!!!

I heard it through the grapevine that he MAY be interested in one.

Rafael - good shots. I wonder how Kit Carson ever found and "Indian" in that grass?

Peter,
Aside from my being impressed with a South African knowing who Kit Carson was, It is the name of the park, not the grass - the grass is White Feather Pampas Grass, pretty common here but not normally this size due to limited water supply.

Rafael - Very nice set, but that first one is VERY nice. It has the 3D look to it that appeals to me. Beautifully processed as well.

Leighton, this is the look one gets from using the old Nikkors like the 55 1.2 or 85 1.8 at a distance fully open. The vignette and smooth transition from sharp in focus to out of focus areas makes for a 3D impression and a natural eye look to the brain. Our eyes are very sharp but only in the very center, like these lenses wide open. The only post processing was a Nik filters adaptive vignette with the color of the train and low opacity.

Thanks Samy, Georg and Monty!

Georg, take care with your BR2, since according to this link
http://www.nikonians.org/html/resources/nikon_articles/other/close-up_macro/macro_5.html
it can damage AF cameras. The BR2A is for AF and DSLR cameras.

I strangely have no strong urge to upgrade to the D600. In fact, I'm thinking about getting my D700 more in tune for manual focus glass, with a katzeye screen and the DK-17m. I'm not maxing out my D700's abilities yet, that's for sure!

That being said, the images taken with the D600 look fantastic, it just doesn't seem different enough for me to upgrade.
