Thanks Angela - glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Mac. This was taken in Long Branch NJ this past Friday.
pp with Topaz Adjust and Photoshop
I use a Meike grip on my D750, and it is excellent. Fit , finish and functionality are great. I previously only bought Nikon grips, but at the current rate you could purchase 4 Meike's and still spend less than 1 Nikon grip.

Very striking images - particularly #1 and 3.
Good luck on opening your studio!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Image 1 is my favorite.
Upgraded firmware on the Pro-1000 will allow you to print up to 17x25. I have several 16x24 prints framed and hanging on my walls. Pigment inks will also provide greater longevity.
I purchased the Pro-1000 in October after years of trouble free service from a Pro-9000, and the images it produces are stunning. Highly recommend.

Yep, yep. I love my D750, but I wish I had my D3s back. I regretted that I ever traded it in.
Tomcat - I gave my D3s to my oldest daughter when she started her own wedding photography business, and later bought a D750. While I like the D750, I really do miss the D3s. I still look at images taken with it and am amazed - all from only 12 megapixels. It worked out well though. In 5 years my daughter has grown her studio into a thriving business and now employs 3 additional photographers to keep up with the volume.
I like it. You created an interesting image that catches your eye from a dull picture of an old window.

Exactly!!! One of the best cameras still around is the 12 megapixel D3s. I'll put it up against anything as far as sharpness and detail. The larger pixels seem to be much better at capturing details and sharpness than the smaller ones that are more densely packed.
Heartily agree on the D3S - there is just something about that particular sensor that hit the sweet spot.
I use a Meike grip and it is excellent. Fit, finish and functionality are great. I previously only bought Nikon grips, but at the current rate you could purchase 4 Meike's and still spend less than 1 Nikon grip. Also it comes with a wireless remote control, which is very handy. When I used to shoot commerically, I wouldn't take any risks with non-OEM equipment. Now that I am retired, I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this particular 3rd party grip.

For nature and landscape shots, I've grown much more fond of shooting (and seeing) small, gentle moments that others might overlook.
All a matter of personal opinion and interests, though, and if you read the two articles linked in my signature line, you'll see better where I'm coming from.
I was a member of a large camera club in Arlington, VA around 1990. I entered all their monthly contests, often in both print (b&w) or color slides. But I would not do that today because I wouldn't want to fall into the trap of making my decision on what to submit based on what I thought would please someone
else.Would this one be in contention?
