Ah! Atocha treasure, or repros made from the originals as patterns? We saw
the Atocha traveling display years ago in Claremont, CA. That whole
recovery is a fascinating story. Nice treatment!

Subject: [nikonf4] D7000 images
Got my Nikon D7000 yesterday. It's quite nice. I like it a lot. The
customizability is really extensive. The LCD on the back is gorgeous, and the
controls are laid out in a logical way. Noise performance is great. ISO 1600
is really, really clean. I haven't shot enough at high ISOs to really say
yet how good, but up to 25,600 seems to be usable for some things. Overall,
it's the best DX camera Nikon makes by far. And for the price it really
makes the D300s look dated. AF is very fast, and accurate.
The only thing that's not great so far is that when it focuses during
video you can hear the lenses focusing. I don't even notice the noise from my
AF-S lenses as I'm shooting, but it's there in the video sound track. So you
really need an external mic to make audio work well apparently. Could this
be a major reason other cameras don't have AF during video other than the
D3100?
One think Koichi would like is that you can set it so that with non-G
lenses you set the aperture with the ring on the lens instead of with a
command
dial.
I've got two photos you can download. Both less than 1 meg, though they
are full size jpegs. When I created them I didn't have an NEF converter for
it yet. Got that this morning from Adobe labs where Adobe Camera RAW 6.3 is
still in beta.

It's from the Atocha, a Spanish galleon that sank off Florida in 1622. We
have it on exhibit in the entrance to our library. Mostly high intensity
incandescent light with some daylight coming in from a skylight directly
above. Colombian emeralds obviously and gold probably from there too.
