Pat, the D200 is a great camera, but the D300 is better - not a heck of a lot in basic image quality but enough to make a difference in some shooting situations. Live-view makes some tripod shots easier. More resolution gives me a bit more margin. A little more dynamic range. I like the focus fine tuning feature to calibrate all my lenses to the camera - most I found are off a bit. It is nice to have the larger high resolution LCD for proofing shots. I am keeping the D200 for a backup and for the wife to use. The D70s, I put in the car trunk for a "just in case" camera. I can't afford to keep up with buying new equipment, so I will likely not be upgrading with the next release.

Eb - An innovative shot with rustic textures and nice contrasts. How does the D300 compare to the D200?

Thanks for your comment Mirek. Some photographers snap a horse, a child, a mountain, etc. Usually the only skill required is to know how to operate the camera, be at the right place and to notice. It is surprising how many people do not know how to do that. Thus, a lot of great photographs are of common place subjects but seen with a new eye, under a new light. You, as a photographer, might pass by this "58" and never give it a thought. I decided to photograph it but likely no one else will. It means nothing to me but texture and balanced form. I do not present it as a great photograph. Technically it could have been better, especially if I had had a tripod with me. I would have been able to get enough dof to fully sharpen the bottom area. (Because the camera is angled upwards, the zone of sharpness is not even.) Consider this image as whimsical - like it or not! Or think of it as calligraphy, a beautiful 58 on a unique textured background. I am pleased that you spoke your mind, Mirek! Regards!

Yes, Dave it is a former military building. Looks like a small wharehouse or depot on a former wet lands training base. This is where the sappers at CFB Chilliwack would learn how to build bridges. Now it is known as a Great Blue Heron Sanctuary. The shot is entirely whimsical. On another day, when I see the light is right, I will photograph the entire building.

In reply to Mirek:
The frame is well composed and interesting. How often do you see moss growing over such a texture that looks like a grass and sky scene?
The "special" skill that Eb has, is in the finding of the frame that makes the photograph. Not all photographers walk around with their eyes closed :-)

Great textures and well spotted. Love the cracked paint. These numbers almost look like they were photographed bouncing up and down on some grass with a blown out sky beyond.
Good work Eb!!

Personally I don't see nothing special in this shot. There is no degree of difficulty or any sort or special skill You used in creating this picture. I only guess it has some personal meaning to You.

Great capture of the detail and textures, Eb! Is this at a former military base?
Dave.
