Week 10 I said "never again" when it came to shooting a sports event with film, week 11 I did it anyway, but this week is the first week with the D100. http://www.dlridings.com/paw2003/12.html The new address reflects the fact that I had to upgrade for more disk space (involving a domain as well). The old address should work in the future too. What a difference! I shot two rolls of 256mb set at the best jpg quality. Came home, copied them to the harddisk, touched up in Photoshop and had them up on the web before I even would have been back from the lab if I had used film ... and then spent about 10 minutes on each shot, scanning, dust removal, etc etc. The girls (and parents) like that: speed. These are young kids. Anything that happened 1 day ago is HISTORY. It was kind of stupid to use the camera almost straight out of the box, but this is the "after season", the most important championships are over. The girls pull a few daring tricks out of their bag too ... things they wouldn't dare do in a championship, so I took my risks with a new camera. I shot some at EI 1600 and some at HI - 1 (supposed to be twice as sensitive as 1600. I don't know why Nikon just doesn't say 3200). But it does feel nice to take a little M back into my hands to kick around with. SLR:s are big. Daniel - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
