Hey, thanks! Been actually kinda in a lull. Almost demotivated, but getting back in the spirit! :~) Yes...in that time I have been playing with the D300 and getting it dialed in. I shoot in 14bit color on all my shots. Not shooting anything moving...so dont need the speed.

Roman,

Yes I know about those lulls. Funny how sometimes life interacts with photography.

I was wondering how you like using Capture NX. I know what a master you are with CS3 and I would be interested in how you've incorporated NX into the work flow. I have to tell you that when I first tried NX last year, I was underwhelmed. But during the summer I made a real effort to start using it more and much to my surprise I now find myself using it almost 90% of the time. I find the control point technology really can substitute for all the selective masking and layering I used to do in CS. If NX had a good clone brush I would probably be using it 99% of the time. I've actually done some HDR comparisons using your overlaying technique vs control points and quite frankly except for some special cases, the control points can really suck more DR out of many of my NEF files.

I'm just hoping they can make some performance and interface improvements in version 2 and not screw it up.

Some of my best
