Very nice pictures Cincy, I really do like that bean though, it would be cool to get really close to it and use it kinda like a fisheye, but with a normal lens, because it bends everything inwards that is around it. Do you know that girl? or is it just someone skating? The lighthing is very strong because of the ice, but great capture.
I don't see your reflection off the bean. How's that possible ?
Photoshop?
If it was Photoshop, he did a damn good job at cloning him out. I think maybe, I may be wrong, but if you look closely there is a black figure further out. This could be him and the lens set at 135mm?? We must know cincy!
Nice picture. One thing that really surprised me was how minimal the noise is on my D200 at Iso 300-800 range- compared to my D70s. Your picture is a good example of my satisfaction with the D200.
