This is a 100% crop of a full size D2X image taken using the 105/2.8 micro-nikkor

Guess who it is

What has amazed me when processing these images is even when I quite badly underexposed the images are still very clean...

I like it... I like it alot..

Looks like Glen to me...

Scott... You might also want to include a scaled down version of the original image... a 100% crop doesn't mean a lot without seeing the original photo you cut it from... ;-)

With the 105mm you could have been standing 1ft away to take that shot...

by **MHD** on Tue May 10, 2005 3:52 pm

yeah... I wanted to preserve the mystery for a moment...

What's with the colour in the image?

He looks like something out of Goldfinger...

Glen has just left my place and he most certainly does not look like Goldfinger :roll:

There is a very strong yellow cast in this pic IMO.

I'll have a play

That's the wonderful encrypted white balance for you :lol:

Cut down the green and cooled slightly

by **Glen** on Tue May 10, 2005 5:13 pm

Thanks Chris for pointing out I don't look like goldfinger :wink:

At the risk of being pedantic - it wasn't Goldfinger that was gold - it was actually one of his employees Jill Masterson (played by Shirley Eaton in the film) who was asphyxiated by having her body toatally covered in gold paint.

As a final piece of trivia it's been claimed that this wasn't possible (asphyxiation because of paint over your pores), but ont the excellent MyhBusters show when they tested this they had to stop because the painted subject had climbing blood pressure and was feeling unwell.

Stubbsy, I said "out of" Goldfinger, as I know that Auric Goldfinger wasn't the gold one.

I know my Bond...

Yep. Noticed that.

I was correcting the others who obviously don't know their Bond.

I love mythbusters... best show on TV at the moment...

BOT: How about that resolution... just blows my mind really...

by **Glen** on Tue May 10, 2005 6:23 pm

MHD that resolution makes me want to buy eyecreme for my wrinkles and use the face scrub my daughter gave me :wink:

by **kipper** on Tue May 10, 2005 6:23 pm

Ok, now I realise I need a 600MM lens + D2X to capture birds

by **samester** on Tue May 10, 2005 7:33 pm

goldfinger is appropriate - there's that james bond sparkle in the eye going on

i'd have looked at the crop and said the image is a tad soft but the scaled down version looks reasonably sharp.

what scale is best used to determine sharpness ?
