Jannik,
That is very pretty. We have not had the first snow yet here in NY tristate metropolitan area. It has been too warm lately. Yuck

Love this shot Luka The one thing I found with the D810 is how much highlight head room you have. I thought with many shots I had washed out highlight but surprisingly all the details were there
Thank you Charles
Yes, D810's DR is quite amazing, even in comparison with D700, which I thought was amazing when I got the camera years ago. Of course, D850's DR seems even better. I do not mind this kind of technology advancement at all. At some point, I will need to think about replacing D700 ( serving as 'day to day and a backup' body ) with either D810, or D850. Strangely, I use the pop-up flash for Commander mode quite a bit, so that may hold me back and help me save a few bucks. Unless, it is a couple of years from now, then it will probably be a D850. I am in no rush at the moment as D700 is still going pretty fine.

I've had this shot in my head for at least ten years now, but it involves stopping along the interstate at a busy intersection to get it. I did the day after Thanksgiving, and last night with the full moon rising. I'll keep plucking at it till I get it the way I want.
Laura,
Nice capture ! Love the difference in the color with different sky condition.
I can relate to that. There are couple of spots along the highway I often drive that I take mental shots, and think, I might want to take a shot there some day. It is way too risky as it is a bit of a blind corner, and people tend to speed a the spot in terms, also a usual cop hangout. These conditions makes it a deterrent, which is probably a good thing. May be cops are there, because it is such a pretty spot
Be safe !

Thank you very much, Luka! I hope you will get some beautiful snow without a traffic mess soon
It was really beautiful but the snow has gone as fast as it came. This is how it looked this morning:

I have been interested in getting a tele. No, I have not done much of, if any, wild life, or sports. My entry point is more on the use of compression in images, like landscape. After going back and forth with multiple options, thoughts, I decided to go with 300 /f4 PF lens. In the end, the decision was based on its size and weight. This amazing lens is in the size of 24-70, and weight is slightly less than 24-70, and has VR. I have not noticed the much criticized VR issue with D700 or D810. Lens is quite sharp when focused right, and stabilzed properly. I do need to develop a technique to keep this rather light weight telephoto relatively steady so that VR can do the work.

Joshua Tree is one of the many NPs I would like to visit on the West side of US. I am impressed with 24-120mm. It seems to be keeping up with D850.
