"I envy your freedom Stan." That is really an ironic idea, only 20 years after the fall of the Iron Curtain, we envy the personal freedom of those on the other side. That sense of personal freedom, that manifests itself every day is the most important single reason I am here. It is sad I can't feel normal back home
Seems like we are hijacking the thread. I'll post some of my Scotland photos from 3-4 days after getting the D800.
To get back on track here is a photo that convinced me that it is a special camera, the 11th image I took with it. It is facing into the sun which I cropped out, The shadows cast by Doune Castle were black. I added +4ev of shadow lift and there was very little noise in the resulting detail of the stone work. No DSLR could do that before the D800. Also, the shot was up under the castle with a lot of perspective distortion as expected from the 24mm so I messed with free transforms in Photoshop CS6 to correct most of the distortion caused by shooting up with a wide angle. Not a great image but really cool demo of what shadow detail there is lurking in deep shadows.
