Hunting Dogs and Dunkle

Hi CSL!

My sincerest thanks..! I really enjoy photography and have "played at it" for many, many years. Anyway - today I was using my Nikon D200 with an older Nikkor 75-150mm f/3.5. It's manual focus and manual f-stop, since for snow, I usually only shoot snow scenes manually given how most DSLRs blow out scene highlights (same for bird photography in Florida)... I use CS for post processing as well to convert from the NEF (RAW) file...

Anyway - my thanks again CSL - and a wonderful 2010 to you..!

Dunkle,

If I bring my camera out can you give me some lessons on how to do that manual stuff? I thought I would test your knowledge, do you recognize this bed and what BOD slept in it?

John,
I have used an older Nikon for years, and when I had time to get everything right manually I've achieved some great results with 50mm & 135mm Nikkor lenses... These days seems like the film cameras are quickly becoming dinosaurs, but I still like using my early Nikon ~ old habits, well you know... When on the fly and in a hurry I grab my Son's Canon EOS Rebel Xti, it's a good camera and does very well for a modern day digital.

Best to You as well in 2010...... CSL
