My first attempt at using my sb700 to do some studio-styled lighting. This was taken in my living room, with a D5000 & 55-200mm (&sb700). I took it from across the room @ 200mm, due to the lack of a macro lens (making do!)
Critiques please!

Eh, for something that big you'll get by just fine without a macro lens. Only times I really take out my Tokina 100mm/f2.8 macro is to use as a medium telephoto on my old film cameras (it has an aperture ring) and when things really are getting small enough for a 1:2 or 1:1 reproduction ratio to be necessary to get the shot.
Thanks Rx4, Pierre.. Rx4 I loved the bird shot, now if only I can catch an eagle that way. Pierre I like the inside shots. Kanuck, I like the South Korea lake shot, and Treckie nice.
I love Morley's eyes in that, Regulator. They say, "Do you think we can keep him then, Nathen?"
Here's a (self-)family portrait we took before the snow started flying (it's flying now).
Nice colors Thechemist, I have no idea what I am looking at soldado_ss, nice shots all.

Skip Stewart at NAS Jacksonville yesterday.
D7000, 70-200 2.8, 1/200th, F/14, ISO 200

A snap at the Mont-Saint-Michel religious life.
Is this one yours squamish? Beautiful.

These places where so dark and without a proper tripod setup, I had no choice but to trust the sensitivity of the D700. The NEF were all black except for the openings. Boosting the brightness, exposure and blacks gave me back the shot, giving the stones a fluorescence look. It amazes me that we can see the backlid people faces enough to recognize them
. While I was taking the shot, I could barely see that there were people and surely could not tell how many.
Whenever I see cool stuff on the side of the road at work, I jump out and see what I can get with my camera. This from an old railroad station in Newfoundland, NJ was pretty satisfying. Was on my side on the ground, with the camera upside down and my head in the dirt to get the perspective low enough but I am happy.
