Silly dog...he just ran straight off the side. I was sure he had broken his back, but luckily he seems to be fine.

Thanks, but I am wondering where all these people who complain about noise in high ISO digital were in the days of film? Those images were at ISO 3200...I NEVER saw less grain from ANY color neg film pushed to 3200...actually it was FAR worse...and at 1600...forgetaboutit...the 1600 neg film I shot in my news days looked more like this 3200 does, at 1600 the 1DII is VERY clean. Not all things can be shot at ISO 50 or 100...sometimes you gotta push it and IMHO the 1DII delivers when you gotta go high. Heck I knew photographers who used to like the very grainy (noisy) 400 ISO chrome films...they actually got mad when Fuji came out with the low grain 400. However since the advent of digital for some reason any noise at all is unacceptable. Whatever. For me I will shoot it where it needs to be shot and not worry over much about it. -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography http://www.mcclary.net harrison@xxxxxxxxxxx ========================================================= To Unsubscribe: Send email to leica-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
