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.
