Cool, can you give us any more details, such as care requirements?

Over the past year, I've had the opportunity to borrow other people's D90s to take some pictures. And if they had a really nice lens, it made all the difference in the world. For example, taking pictures of fish is much easier - and I'm talking about taking pictures without the flash. The images are less grainy, which is a big deal to me. I'd have to look up the difference on DPreview.com to get more specific, which I've not done yet.

Nice shots Marc.
Have you noticed any obvious image quality differences between the D70 and 90?
I know the photo sensor is one of the more notable differences between the two...

That is a very neat coral Marc!!!

Thanks Gabriel. This one literally fell into my lap. Jessy was doing all she could to weasel in, but if I was going to buy the upgrade, it was going to include the lens. Otherwise, what's the point?

Nice shots Marc! I would love to have the 105mm Macro lens! I have been wishing for years now with no luck.

My D70s is going up for sale. I need to take a few pictures of the gear and put it on DFWMAS and Craigslist.

Marc those pictures are freaking sweet! Thanks for the D90 demo! I'm going to be looking for a new DLSR myself soon. Also good luck with the bunny! My girlfriend used to keep rabbits...

Those were drilled for a closed loop application, but because they are so low in the back, I don't trust them at all. Since the tank was set up, the valves have never been opened (nor have they leaked, thank goodness). I've thought of various ideas to use them, but nothing worth pursuing. If they leaked, all my SPS would be exposed and likely perish.

That's no fun. Part of the joy is designing it yourself and watching it grow and evolve.

You might make my bunny a tad nervous.

I still have to get more familiar with the camera's features. Fortunately, Jessy and a few others I know have this exact model so I can ask them questions to speed up the learning curve. I do want to add that very little was done in Photoshop to clean up most of those. A slight adjustment in levels was needed in a few. And there were a lot of goofs that I didn't share.

Dang Marc, didn't think your photography could get any better

Kudo's on the new pet! can I bring my Malamute over to play? She loves playing with snowshoe hares.

Beautiful Marc! Thanks for sharing.

Sweet camera, awesome pics. I like my D90.

Take your time.Sweet MAX vids thanks!

Marc,

Sleep, do that on the plane back............................ time for more drinking!

We got the booth set up, as you can see above in the comments by Ken. When Ed and I arrived, it was mostly done already, but we had a few more components to add.

We did some drinking, a little recording tonight, and now it's time to sleep a bit to get ready for Saturday!

OK Marc, I had to help Jessy set up your both without you! Stuck in traffic, come on now, we don't have traffic in LA.


I had to go to dinner with the guys from DA, hope to see you Sunday. I'm not sure I'll be there Saturday yet, but maybe in the afternoon.

cant wait to see updates, we expect lots and lots of pics
