Hi Jaco, it's been awhile.

The first one is my favourite, and I also like #3, #4, #5.
I have to say that some of the others don't really appeal to me much, which is suprising as I usually like the majority of your work. Some of this (IMO) don't met your usual high standards.


How are you liking the D200 and 18-200 ?

Hey Jaco - I'm with Alpha, first one really appeals to me - almost speaks across the web.....
One question - why such a high iso????

Answer is simple
Just to know to where can I go with high iso...
I've choosen a very difficult light to ...'test' the capacioties of the D200 body.

Jaco,

I like B&W, I'm just commenting that previously I loved all your shots you've shared, this time.. I like 4-5 of them, and the others are not as intriguing or intimate as the shots I have come to expect from you. I'm sure you try you best, just some of these don't work for me. I think I generally favour your tight close portraits. I'll look at your gallery and let you know what I think of the gallery.

(Please don't be offended).

Jaco - You've just posted another example of the kind of shot I really like of yours. Tight, close, intimate and revealing.

Take it easy my friend, absolutly no problem with that!!!!

Do you prefer that?

To be continued... Best regards from Belgium (sun is ther today!!!)

Jaco,

I find the first one of Thibaut very pleasing. The eye contact is excellent and the composition is great.

I also like the one of Maurice - the inclusion of a bit of background is a great reference.

The last B&W with the 85mm is so engaging. I can't stop looking at it.

Great work Jaco.

Thibaut is great, but while it's very sharp around the eyes and forehead, the nose and lips are a little soft and detract from the overall effect... a little more DOF and it would have been perfect...

The photo of the grey haired gent is excellent and so are the 3 arty ones. You have a good eye for the unusual and for composition - but you knew that already...

Maurice is my favourite image. Its resolution, framing and subject are terrific. These are all very appealing images and indicate the D200 combination is very potent (as well as your skills ). Can you expand on the combination of D200 and 18-200 as I am seriously looking at upgrading to this and using it as a travel camera and you appear to have the use of it for a while. I am sure others might be interested in your thoughts.

Nice work Jaco
I can see that the D200 is the tool for those who love black and white! The technical quality and the depth of tones is evident. Thanks for posting.
