K10D, DA 50-200 at 200mm. I set my K10D at f6.3, 1/200th. Put the camera in TAV mode and let it select the sensitivity. This shot came in at ISO 1600. Converted to BW in the channel mixture. I like this shooting mode. Would not have wanted to think about ISO when I pulled the trigger on this. B

Hi Paul, TAv mode is a nice feature. I spoke to a couple of people who've used it and who were pleased with the results. I really like the photo, BTW. It's simple, almost stark, but the dynamics are great. The straight-backed guy, the verticals in the background, the straight-ahead look from t

Thanks Shel. Yes, TAV can save a lot of fumbling in changing light or when moving from sun to shadow. For this kind of shooting, I usually want a fast shutter speed and a big stop, so I'd much rather change the ISO when the light varies. Paul On Dec 21, 2006, at 7:34 AM, Shel Belinkoff wrote: >

I'm very fond of the way the K10 renders noise at high ISO. It does look like film grain. Paul On Dec 21, 2006, at 7:36 AM, Shel Belinkoff wrote: > Oh, almost forgot I really like the grain on this one. Very > nice the > way Pentax has decided not to obliterate all the noise and allow so

Thanks Russell. Everything is still a test of sorts with the K10, but I'm giving it a workout. At first, I used it just like the D. Now I'm trying some different approaches. In brief, I love it. Paul On Dec 21, 2006, at 7:31 PM, Russell Kerstetter wrote: > I like your 'test' shot Paul. > > On
