Re: Wow. Just wow. And WOW again!

Mine arrived at my doorstep yesterday, ordered about a week ago.
It was printed her in the Netherlands :-)

No discount to be found that actually worked, but it is certainly worth the 
price!

Exceedingly well done, everyone, and especially the editorial trio, and

What he said ...

I noticed that most contributors have multiple images spread over the book now, 
great!

Thanks, Rick. For some reason, the graphic design and layout of the
book was a real agonizing process this year, but came together well
when I finally got it worked out. One of the things that really
disappoints me about ebooks is the way they don't convey the
typography and page layout that constitute a well-designed page. So
it's good to know when the design gets noticed in the print version.

Try some BW conversions. You'll find the latest generation of sensors
have yielded amazing advances in what can be achieved. :-)

Congratulations.

 
 Everyone who said it's a huge improvement over the K-7: you were right.

It's funny.  No matter how many times you hear about how quiet it is, the first 
time you shoot one it's practically guaranteed to smack your gob. 

I've shot over 50,000 frames on mine, and it's still surprising me by how much 
harder I can push it and still get completely usable results.  Yes, some of my 
photos from last weekend look a bit rough, but they were shot at ISO 16,000 and 
1/10 second and are sharper, and cleaner, than what I was getting with the K100 
at ISO 1,600 and 1/20 Sec.

Sometimes I think that I need to completely relearn how to expose and process 
photos with the K-5.  It has so much dynamic range, I'm almost better exposing 
to preserve highlights that one would expect to be completely out of range, and 
then pull usable details out of what at first looks like completely black 
shadow.

I'm looking forward to them.
