Thanks again for the suggestion and good wish,<br>

<p>It looks like you all share the same suggestion and/or opinion - just like the following one by David Schilling of Chicago, Illinois...<br>

</p>

<blockquote>

<p> <strong>" <em>Never, ever, ever use a new piece of gear or a new technique at a wedding unless it's been fully tested and you are completely familiar with it. The time for experimentation and learning is before the wedding and not during the wedding.</em>"</strong></p>

</blockquote>

<p>I hear you all and my heart-felt thanks goes out to you for your time and suggestions!</p>

<p>BTW I already got it and 'm shooting till I drop----testing and testing and testing and .....</p>

<p>Thanks Brooke - I can't wait to see it!<br>

Nadine - I am glad you responded - I was kind of expecting your take, among the many, on this. Thanks a lot, you have been instrumental on my improvements.</p>

<p>Hello photog family,<br>

I am so pleased to share with you that I just placed an order for D300S to be delivered tomorrow - which is right on time for this weekend's wedding photography project.</p>

<p>That being said, the question to you is whether [<em>putting in to consideration that I have never used the D300S</em>] I should use it as a back-up camera to my lovly D80 or use it as a primary one?</p>

<p>FYI Thanks to such forums on photo.net and my friend/mentor, I have learned a whole lot of technics using my D80 and it is time for upgrade.</p>

<p>Open to any feedback.</p>

<p>Correction...</p>

<p>"Astro is very hug..." meant to say "Astro is very huge".</p>

<p>Hello Naikonaits...</p>

<p>Very good coca-cola - pepsi story line, Jose!</p>

<p>The WedNEsDAy, it looks like it dedicated for Dogs...</p>

<p>The following photo was taken last Sunday. It is a photo of my best friend with his dog-Astro. Astro is very hug and he thinks Astro is Anatolian Sheep Dog breed.</p>

<p>The photo was taken with D40 at 18mm f/6.3 1/160sec at ISO400 with direct sunlight setting.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning WedNEsDAy lovers!</p>

<p>Great photo day indeed!</p>

<p>Pedro Cardoso - that is so detailed photo and nice sleep photo! I wish I could sleep like that. I am glad you did it in BW btw.</p>

<p>My contribution today is from July '09. I took this photo using my wife's D40. I saw some term that I haven't paid attention to before - 'Exposure Bias Value = 0/6'. If you can help me translate this, I would greatly appreciate it.</p>

<p>D40 [with Nikon DX 18-55mm f/5.6]-------photo taken at f/18 50mm ISO400 @ ExposureBias value of 0/6</p><div></div>

<p>Great WedNEsDAy photo day! </p>

<p>These last couple of days have been great experience for me and my family. We got our bundle of joy - a handsome baby boy [Nathan]-born on Monday the 22nd at 16:15 eastern time. - labor, well, labor is never great but thanks God for giving my wife the strength to push for only 15 minutes.</p>

<p>In any case, I had a great opportunity to experience manual shooting. Shot some pictures that made me proud of myself. The following photo is one of them - </p>

<p>Shot BW by my wife's D40 at 55mm 1/100sec F6.3 at ISO400 natural light....hand-held. </p>

<p>NO post-production was applied except for cropping.</p><div></div>

<p>This is great, C Jo! Thanks!</p>

<p>Great photo indeed!</p>
