The shine hasn't warn off yet ...
A couple of months ago I picked up a Nikon / Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f1.8G and it has hardly left the camera since. The shine hasn’t warn off this new toy just yet!
This week end I took the D300 and 35 1.8 to a local gig
I’m more than happy with the res…
A new toy ...
A few weeks ago I picked my self up a Nikon / Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f1.8G
I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I’m really enjoying this lens. It’s funny how a new toy / gear can inspire you to get out there and shoot more.

Looking back ...
With the new year starting I thought it’d be a good idea to have a look at how I’ve been shooting over the past year or so .
For about the last 4 years I had been using a Nikon D70, I upgraded to a Nikon D300 in August 2008 …
61.63% of the shots currently in my Lightroom catalog were taken with the D70. and already 38.36% with the D300 (I think I’ve been bracketing much more and do…

Tower Fight (Noise Reduction Pt 2)
Well after playing round with a few different applications, I settled on Noiseware Community Edition.
While I am not completely happy with the results, it was good enough for me to get the picts out. When I get a chance I think I am going to revisit the Noise Ninja and see if I can coax something better from it.
Anyway here are some of the images from…
Noise Reduction ...
After shooting in a very poorly lit location last Sunday, I need to do a little clean up of most of the photos I took.
I’ve been looking at purchasing some noise reduction software. So far I’ve narrowed it down to either Noise Ninja or Neat Image . Currently I’m leaning towards Neat Image, as it is giving me results…
Just in case you missed it ...
Roger posted a handy script for firefox users.
Also I’ve managed to offload a few of the calendars, hoping to receive the first batch shortly.
Back in the land of Aus ...
2082 photos of New Caledonia later, I now have much sorting and culling to do!
Now I bracketed many of these photos with a view to creating some HDR images. Are there any other options aside from Photomatix Pro?
Flying out ...
Well,
I’m flying out to New Caledonia tomorrow morning, for a much needed break from work. Camera will be in tow of course, with any luck I’ll get some more shots to add to my profile.
Otherwise I have uploaded a couple of shots to enter the real photo comp.
Return to Silverstar, taken about the same time as some of my other shots, I stitched this one together using Hugin, a very hand…
