QUOTE="blurrist, post: 5769093, member: 10964539"]Love it in highkey iansurita. Is it possible to recover some details from right hat in CR? This is the original image which contains some detail in the white hat, but with my limited software and the time taken on the posted image I'm not sure I could get it perfect. However I think it could certainly be done by someone more competent.

That's a beautiful image and the colour mix is perfect.

I took the easy way as the iPhone was in my pocket and saved me getting out all the photo kit. Quick and simple to send an image to a fellow musician!

ben_hutcherson and orsetto, and all responders whose names I haven't mentioned, thank you for your down to earth advice which is allowing me to see the wider picture. I did think the price quoted in store was high but haven't any true experience of the real world prices. I suspect there is a huge mark up based upon the "mint"/and 8000 shutter count mentioned in the sellers description. I am retired and do not wish to be taken advantage of and feel this is not the bargain I am looking for. I am now coming down to earth and seeing this as not the perfect solution. So I'll reconsider my needs and requirements and look at cameras featuring more up to date sensors. All advice given you have given has been gratefully received and I appreciate the friendly responses to my question. Ian

My thanks to all for taking the time to give such detailed and concise advice which is most helpful coming from experienced photographer members of the forum. It is not gear acquisition mania that I have :) as I have had the D300 since it first appeared way back in August 2007 and feel that perhaps it's time to upgrade it. I'm looking for an improvement in more detailed results and the strength that a pro body provides. My photography is not restricted to the image I uploaded, it was easiest to use it as an example as I am housebound at present and can't get out and about. The price that is being asked in the store is £1500 but it may be reflected in the low shutter count. Is this a fair price for a mint condition model? Thank you all again for the depth of advice which I will take on board very seriously. Ian

For some time now I've been attracted to the Nikon D3S and considering replacing my D300. However I love the images my D300 produces and am undecided if I will achieve better results with the D3S. I know it has a newer sensor and is in mint condition with only an 8000 shutter count, is full frame and has a lot of improvements over the D300. I will not be pushing the D3S to its limits but it does provide some more headroom over the D300. This is what I'm getting out of the D300. Will the D3S be a major improvement?

This weekend saw our old local maltings which is undergoing volunteer restoration in the village host its annual beer festival supporting CAMRA, (Campaign for Real Ale). We were incredibly lucky with the weather which produced a scorching hot day. My wife, grandson and I showed our support and the D300 attended. A couple of images showing good attendance and many different ales on offer.

Trying to keep this thread active, so here's an experiment in destructive image making. A tinge of sepia perhaps to make look a little early 20th century apart from the later accoutrements. D300 + 20-35mm f2.8 afd @ iso4000

Looks a little guilty! The expressions a dog can produce are unlimited and can convey so many different emotions. But then I'm biased as I'm a dog person. Love the image.

Blurrist...there's plenty of life left in the classic Nikons and it's worth keeping their memory alive. Not everyone can have the latest equipment to hand. Pleased to see your regular posts and getting enjoyment out of them. Here's hoping some other members will join in and help keep this thread alive.

Medway Food Festival.

Wow! Reminds me of France in the 60s/70s all the teens causing havoc on these machines (the pedal starter variety). I saw this at a service statio in Italy a couple of years ago, though not a good image but taken as a reminder of things past.

Thank you. I think it was early evening autumnal light but I have to say that my memory is letting me down a bit here.
