Hello Cory, Valid question. I have answered it once, but I'll do so again as it is easy to miss because of the volume of the list.
This kind of terrain has lots of shadows and light areas. Depending on the lens used, DOF desired and subject, I was switching the ISO back and forth quite often. Sometimes I forgot to switch it. My experience with the D is that the difference in image quality between 200 and 400 is very negligable, not like film 200 and 400. So my concern wasn't as high as if I had been shooting 800 or faster. Hope this explanation helps. -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, July 24, 2005, 10:26:48 AM, you wrote: CP> Great shot, but I do have a question.
