    Yes, only one more picture to post and I've reached 600 photos. It took me longer than I expected. Maybe it's time to get more creative and productive?..

    For the photographers: I got the ISO setting all wrong here, just before this picture, I was shooting Yaron while he was jumping and flying through the air and I tried to freeze the action to the maximum... hence the high ISO setting, which I forgot to change back afterwards. :)

    Actually, I think it came out quite nicely. But, I know the feeling, especially when you know you got some great shots, you look at your camera and realize something is set wrong. Thei came out great.

    i know the iso problem, i hate it. ruined lots of pics (especially of beautiful landscapes, which i'll probably never get the chance to go there again), because you don't realize the noise on the cam screen. but sometimes, I like that noise, especially on portraits. it gives a special old-fashioned art style. i think thats also true for your picture here: nice one!

    ISO aside, I think this worked out quite nicely.

    A boy after my own heart -- I loved climbing trees as a kid. On screen, you cannot tell that this was shot with a high ISO (maybe if I looked at it large). Nicely done. (Children are Beautiful group)

    Made that same mistake ... always hard if it's a moment that you can't turn back. About the shot, quite an impressive series on this red headed boy ! -- Seen in my contacts' photos. (?)

    I've done that before (http://www.flickr.com/photos/proleshi/4785134977/in/set-72157619099039668/) <-- 1600 ISO in bright daylight! ha ha. It just makes you more careful in the future with more important photos. I like the processing here and a little grain would contribute to this type of shot.

    I make that mistake too, and usually don't have as cool as a result as you did with this, the grain really adds to the image.

    Again an amazing shot of the boy who liked climbing trees. I love this one as much as the other, although he looks sad on this one. Thanks !

    Well the outcome is very nice anyway. Grain and B&W marries well and don't forget you're shooting a D700 so noise is hardly a problem even at @ iso 2500! ;-)

    No idea what you're talking about technically!:)



    I love the expression on his face, very real and intense! Super picture if you ask the mom! :)

    How I know this iso-problem... ;-)

    But for this dreamy portrait the (very) little grain is just an advantage!
