Bought a D5100 with the 18-55 VR kit lens (planning on downgrading) and had to test it out... 55mm @ ISO 200 / F5.6

I tried not to like it on principle, but failed. Great photo Marius.

Hehe, thank you. Just based off a few images, the image quality seems perfectly fine. Only small niggle with IQ so far is that there's really not a lot that can be recovered from blown highlights, but then again - there's lots of shadow detail that can be pulled out of the image.

Who ever said you kit lenses are rubbish? That's a cracker of a shot!

Mind sharing your PP technique on that one with us?

Hey Anco85, sorry for the late reply. I rearly use the camera anymore so I'm not so active in the forums anymore either.. The kit lens is perfectly fine, as long as you don't need a shallow DOF. People who are new to photography who buys a new "high quality" lens before even testing the kit lens is, in a lot of cases, wasting their money. And how I do my PP work is something I'll take to the grave

A small miracle happened today: it isn't raining. This summer has been the most crap-tastic in ages (supported by official statistics, so it's not just me beeing overly negative either ). So I grabbed the d700 + 24-70 and snapped a shot of my bmw. Yes, I should have used the d5100, but as long as I still have the d700.......

Nice car... nicer shot.

Here it's fog, so you just learn to incorporate it or compensate for it this time of year.

If anyone should start to wonder: I'm going to end the hosting of my website, so a lot of images will dissapear from this thread I guess..
