Joe, the first 4 are some if the most enjoyable you've posted in a while! Good to see you've got your rhythm back.

Nice! I like the first one best..the stair rails 2nd.

From what I've seen, Joe, the RD-1 suits you very well.

I agree with the others. These are some of the best in awhile!

#1 is hard to resist. #4 has a toothy aggressiveness to it that also is very emotive. These are great Joe. I'm inspired to charge up my RD1 batteries and get to it. Are these out of Camera Jpegs?

Nothing the matter with that. Go for it.

Once you've used an RD1 it is a camera that you'll wanna get back again and again for the quality of images it produced. Colors and B&W are rendered very well, much better then an M8 IMO. I've used an M8.2, it's a great camera but RD1 is even better specially in high ISO.

agreed...the rd1 is unique in most every aspect.

I'm back myself, just got an RD1x and waiting for it to arrive.

The high ISO is fantastic. I have pushed the 1600 two stops and ended up with a pretty usable shot. I was pretty impressed...it's a remarkable camera.

Only PP is to adjust for underexposure and to fix a few hot pixels.

Excellent Joe. I like the abstracts. Worth exploring.

i have been following that thread...i'm curious see what you think of it and if/how it might differ from the original.

thanks keith...i need to shake things up a bit...maybe just leaving people out of the pic might help...

I'll post a mini review once I get to use it Joe.
