Imagine that this thread would be on the Guiness Book of Records one day or not in our lifetime...lol.
Regarding your spider, try talking to it using your mind and ask for a favour, like "could you sit still for a while?"...it works for me most of the times .
watched the PBS video on Mr. Adams, certainly changes the way you look at your work. It seems that its okay to manipulate in the digital darkroom. I spend so much time trying to get it right in camera, and not foolin too much in post.
Here is one that is a single image, heavily dodged and burned. Certainly looks better than any other attempt Ive made at processing it in the past.
I had a split second to capture this shot recently at MGM / Hollywood Studios' "Lights Motors Action" stunt show... I think I was lucky as I hadn't seen the show previously and thankfully the ol' D2H can still keep up with just about anything I throw at it.

thanks holmes, looks like your getting well aquainted with D300
I must confess.... I sold the D300 a few days ago! I'm back to my D2H/D40 kit and quite pleased about it. The image posted was taken with the D40 & Sigma 30mm combo, my favourite low light kit.
I guess I'm just not very good at the upgrading thing

Bravo! If I had only known a few months ago that I could buy a D2x AND a D2h today for what I paid for the D300, I would have never bought one.
Oh well, here's a D70 pic from this week. I actually still like that camera, except for the tiny LCD..

Raymond, my exif reader on the leaves says it is a 200mm F1.0 lens
WOW!!!!!

Yeah it's a great lens. F1.0 on 200mm really is nice It was quite expensive tho, but worth every penny!
Just kidding. I made that shot with my 50mm 1.8 reverse mounted on my D300, so the exif contains no real information on the lens. I have no idea why your reader thinks it is 200mm F1.0. Flickr shows 0mm F0, now thats a wide angle eh?
