D200 Pictures I Took Today... Still Hot, No PP

Just resized to suit dpchallenge.

After going to the church today, I took some pictures with my new Nikon D200. These are the images I came across on my way home. The pictures are not post-processed (just resized). I took some portraits but was unsuccessful. No good model...just plenty of very dynamic kids in the church. I will try again tomorrow.

Lens for all of these is 50 mm macro/ f2.8. Manual mode, f stop varies.

None of these will be in the challenge because I just discovered that my date was January 25, 2005. I will soon delete these in my portfolio. Just posting these for many people who would like to see the results of D200.

My comment: I LIKE IT. Very smooth to the hands. Easy to use. The LCD are big...can delete unsharp pictures right away as you can see it. BUT...since I am a portrait person, I still have to reserve my important verdict til I try portrait shots...which will be tomorrow.

I wanna see other D200 results.

Dang, you're gonna be even deadlier now. Does this camera have a "veil" or "shawl" setting like the D70 did? jejejeâ�¢

Manny, can you post a couple of 100% crops from these - I think people will like to see detail and sharpness &c?

I hope I could. Maybe at my pbase account. Will try it tomorrow. My internet at home is a dial-up so it would probably take forever to post one pic.

Doesn't have to be the whole thing though - could be a 640x crop from the full thing?

Hahahaha...Okay, lemme see...Veil Setting...yes....there is...but there's a custom setting...it says...doesn't work in dpchallenge anymore...:)))

Anyway, I will defy the odds. Or maybe, will try to adapt. Let's see what's in 2006?

None of the pics are super sharp...I am using a 2.8-4.5 f stop mainly. And I have no tripod. Will post more samples tomorrow from my portrait sessions.

Hey Manny,

Welcome to the D200 Club !! I wanted to thank you (and everyone else) who advised me, in a previous post, to go for a D70 update instead of buying more lense.
I'm so happy with my D200, It feels really great in hands !
Anyway, do you also feel that this D200 is more demanding that the D70 as far as technique and sharpness is concerned ? I really have to be more steady and relaxed to archive super sharp shots handheld, or of course use a tripod. I guess it's because of the 10 Mpixels, more resolution means an emphasis of camera shake.
Anyway, nice shots !! still have some work to do to be up to the task :)

Edit: minor spelling mistakes :)
