Hard to comprehend that so many buffalo were running years ago in the plains in such numbers the ground would shake.
Off subject (kind of). Thank you for calling the critter a "buffalo".

Eventually I will read almost all of the manual as I learn as much about the camera as I can.
But, I stop reading when it changes from English to a foreign language. :)

A question posed by my wife, did Eastman want Kodak to slow play the digital camera so they could milk the chemical market for all they could get out of it and wind up over playing their hand. Stranger things have happened in the corporate world.

Relax, we all, at one point, in the past, had our first brand new DSLR , unless..? Why to look down on a people with a dream? I'm pretty sure Ansel Adams was a beginner wen he touch a camera for the first time and at that moment he did NOT know a lot about photography.

May I say... thanks to you and others. I have learned much from you in the last year.
I would like to "ditto' that comment. I wasn't aware that Mr. Perry is now a member here. We can learn a lot from him and at his web site.

As seldom as possible. Examining an enlarged blank screen will probably show spots on any sensor. You have to decide when those spots become a distraction and are too much trouble to remove in post processing.
Please keep this in mind though. Fungus on lenses or senors is a killer:
"I think this story belongs in this thread (and others like it)
A family member has an expensive camera($6K+ when new) that had a dirty sensor when he last used it. He put it away while he was gone on an extended trip. He lives in a very humid area and when he next when to use the camera the dust had adsorbed moisture and that turned to mold. A very expensive repair. I know we tend to procrastinate with sensor cleaning and use Photoshop or equal to remove spots but, please don't wait too long it can bite you HARD!"

:thumbup: :thumbup: I was a Kodak pro product dealer and my thoughts parallel yours. On the other hand their photo business was all that the general public new or cared about while their Eastman chemical business is still going strong. Or at least it was the last time I checked

This process seems to have highlighted noise.
Also, the dog's eyes are in the focal plane, not the girl's?

The camera seems to have front focused as the girls left arm is the most in focus.

I wasn't able to get out much this year but this image pleased me because it came out about the way I saw it.

You're not late at all, Rich. Still plenty of chips and dip to be had. Glad you're enjoying the thread, and hope you'll contribute one of your own favorite images to it!
There were several more that caught my eye! The members here do some incredible work.
I'll have to go through my limited efforts of this year and see what I care to submit.
(Wasn't able to get out much because of "issues" )

I just took the time to do a bit of research.
The D610 from a reputable dealer is ~ $1500
W/kit lens (24-85mm) ~$1900
D610 body only with 24-120mm f/4 lens ~$2600 (kit not available)
D750 kit with the 24-120mm f/4 lens ~$2400
It of course depends on your budget but if it were me I would try to work the D750 w/24-120 into my budget. Beside the obvious extra reach the 24-120 is pretty generally acknowledged to be a superior lens, an upgrade that I would be looking to make and since the D750 bundle/kit in this case would cost less, no brainer.

Ron, without differences of opinion where would the spice of life come from? :P My take on the original image was one of openness/breathing room and I would have cropped it accordingly.

I saw some noise also but mostly it seems to be front focused a bit, the arm and watch are fairly sharp. (Trying to sharpen the eyes introduces artifacts)
