So quiet. I see this idea is going well

Before going to Hawaii in September I wanted to upgrade me D50.  I ended up with the D300.  A friend had got one so I did get to handle it.  I am still loving the camera.  The bigger back screen is amazing.  Another reason for the upgrade was I needed more than the 1600iso the D50 was affording me.  I also had gotten a 50mm F1.4 for the same reason.  I am taking pictures in unevenly light gyms.

Hello all -

 

My wife has gone back to school to get degrees in Art and Art History.  She has applied for a grant to do a three week study abroad program in Mongolia this summer focusing on digital photography of women in Mongolia.  She hasn't taken any photography classes yet and will need a decent digital SLR for the class.

I got the latest issue of American Photo last night.  Was in a baggy case it included an advertisement.  It was a 20"x30" double-sided poster ad for the new Nikon D3.  On one side is a collage of D3s making some kind of star.  On the other is a shot of motorcyclists at a race track.  A smaller cropped version in the back cover of AP.  It's at the edge of the track using the 18mm-24mm lense.  The lead rider just about fills the frame.  Has his knee down with a slider throwing sparks.  In the background he is being chased by two Kawasaki 600s, a Honda, and some others.  If
