IMHO, the way I look (on this) at her photo is not better than last time you taken with the D70.
#1 = Too yellowish #2 = I'm not in B&W mood, sorry! Birddog114

Appreciate the feedback Birdy.
The image has been resized so it loses a little bit there...af full res I can certainly see a difference. The light was in our kitchen (halogen downlights), a little yellow yes, but not too bad I didn't think. The speed and focusing of the D200 has already sold me, I love it Geoff

Geoff, prefer the colour one, very nice. Nice lighting. I think there are too many megapixels in the image, do you have a lower quality camera you can take it with?
Edit: Moderator hat on, you new wankers with your fancy cameras, we have a 800 pixel limit, with a hard 200kb limit (100kb or less suggested) per image on this board. Your colour version is 369kb!! Can you please reduce it?
Geoff,
Fast focussing or speedy of other features on the D200 is not my intention to say in this photo. Of course when you pay for more $$$, you should get better value, especially when you upgraded it from the D70, if you had and used the D2h or D2x before then your impression will be totally difference. Same as I drove a Golf 2.0 sport and now test drive the Golf GTi, I know what a big difference & my feeling is. I was just giving my comment on the photo and its nature. Birddog114

Don't know yet! She doesn't want to test drive it and I did on her behalf. It fassssst and fasssssssst then my D2x forget about D200

Get her an SL or a CLK. It's exactly her style. g.

What do you mean "toys"? A camera for taking photos and a car for driving to work daily Birddog114

o.k i'm lettign go on the d200 converso
think belle looks kind of natural but i think you can reshoot this a few times to get a trully wonderful moment regarding the tone i think it would work much better if you got rid of the shine on the face by trying different lighting techniques softening hte light etc in some cases shine is sexy and all but i think in this case belle has such a gentle face treat it gently, with lots of difussed soft lighting try to keep her skintone white, try shooting during overcast conditions but valiant effort geoff i know how hard it is to get belle to model
Hey Geoff,
nice to see you using your new cam and posting the results. I prefer the colour version of the two, but indoor lighting never gives great results, always a bit of a colour tinge. I have seen some great b/w conversions from you recently, this b/w isnt quite as good as your usual stuff, but thats probably from the colour tinge in the original. keep practicing, I know you will be getting some great results from your new camera very soon, it always takes time to get comfartable with a new camera and get the maximum results from it. Marty What does that button do....??
Yes, she's, she chose the VW Jetta but I stirred her to the GTI instead of. She's impressed but still not decide yet. Her rights. I just got a new truck! and I better shut up Birddog114

Yes, It's 3.0TDi I'm a happy camper with it on Bio-diesel Yes, I am running BD100.
Next mini meet, I'll ask members to bring their refused cooking oil over to swap for their seats

The fume came out from the exhaust system smelt like you are in front of the fish & chips shop, not a diesel like smell.. Birddog114

Please try to stay on topic people.
Geoff I prefer the colour version. The B & W just doesn't glow if that makes sense. However, I find the background a little distracting. Peter

Re: Indoor Fun
The b/w version keeps the focus tighter on the main subject, though the colour one has that warm glow that I like, too. I can't decide. I guess it depends on the final purpose of the image. Cheers Steffen. lust for comfort suffocates the soul
I totally agree. Geoff, can you clone out a few, please? Cheers Steffen. lust for comfort suffocates the soul
Gosh, I was about to make another funny (my kind of funny) remark about the megapixel thing, but this comment sure reigned me in... 
Weird how there can be a page full of new replies between the time you start writing your comment and posting it... Cheers Steffen. lust for comfort suffocates the soul
