Edward, thank you, yes, she is a most extraordinary dog, a service dog in the fullest sense, who has provided countless people with opportunities to read out loud if they were afraid to, encounter a dog who could help them get over their fear of dogs, and, best of all, provide them with comfort in their last minutes of life. We are truly blessed to have her with us.
Jason, please, all the pictures you have of PNS I'd be most grateful to see. I so loved that city/town and area when we lived there. My office was on North 9th Avenue and we lived on Connell Drive in Cordova Park.
thanks, Rick. I continue to be blown away by the X100. Just incredible IQ. I keep being amazed how the pictures I take with it so closely resemble what I see in terms of white balance. Just amazing!!
Easiest way to use a polarizer, as I found with my M9, was to just turn it and watch the exposure. Where your exposure time is the longest your getting the most polarization effect

Hmmm. Gonna try that tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.

You can also just hold it up to your eye, and mark the point in regards to the lettering on it that has the effect your after, then screw it on and spin it to that direction, which also works.
due to the auto gain on the EVF/LCD, you are right its sometimes tough to see the full extent of the effect

All from this little cam… speechless. How much of PP did you do on them?
thanks man .. as for PP, besides the one pic of the bride/groom dancing .. most of them were pretty minimal. just fixing exposure and some fill light to bring out the shadows a bit in LR, and also colors to give it a slight film look.
I need to stop looking at this thread these photos are just what I was hoping to see out of the x100
I want one,I want one
Once you get the camera set up to your liking do you usually leave it that way.I guess what I mean is that my d700 is pretty much set the way I want it
Do you have to do alot of menu changing or do the buttons on the camera take care of things without menu diving?
Great job guys
I mainly just change the iso and aperture to suit shooting conditions. occasionally i change the drive mode to bracket and occasionally use the ND feature option, but other than that, set it and leave it alone.
I went though messing around with dynamic range, film simulation, colour, sharpness, highlight tone, shadow tone settings but now just leave all of these pretty much standard.
Tony great to see another shot of Emma. My girlfriend is the volunteer services coordinator at a local no kill shelter, some of those dogs go into service, some just need a good home
Glad to read you are enjoying the x100, you certainly seem to be doing very well...your shots are great.
Thanks, Edward. I didn't have quite so much luck last night in the dead of a crummy, very windy, rainy, dark, misty sky. But, hey, gotta learn the camera under those conditions which probably demanded higher ISO and certainly a steadier hold on my part. Surprisingly, relative to my Nikkor 24/2 or 28/2.8, there are NO points of light surrounding the varies streetlights, just what appear to be a displaced "blob" of circular light. I'll post a pic or two in a bit, and perhaps you could comment I what I may have done wrong; or, perhaps it's a limitation of the lens, or, operator error.
I will soon begin doing work with Vets returning from the sandboxes and Emma is likely to be pressed back into service and Good On your girlfriend; that is such noble work to do, caring for animals who have been rejected, bruised, battered, injured. I applaud her and her colleagues.
Reagan,
See above before you make a decision

John, that's beautiful work!! The sky looks "dead on" accurate.
Yes, that and the af are two weak points. The flaring was hard for me being a tall guy and trying to take indoor shots with overhead lights...but as can be plainly seen, many more advanced than I do much better
A few random shots from some pre-Christmas family activities this past weekend.

An early Christmas present - assembling a Tintin puzzle with the kids. This one was tough!
And from just a few hours ago, picking up my son from school on Dec 22nd...what weather we are having up here! This is one of the latest rides of the season I can remember.
