Toronto Winter Flora

Toronto's Allan Gardens Conservatory.

These are right out of the camera with some sharpening for the web, and some slight cropping. I have to shoot in jpg as there's no conversion software to read NEF (raw) files yet for Mac's new operating system. These are shot with auto white balance and without any in camera colour play (which the D3 allows for when shooting jpeg, so any manipulation is done before compression). Anyway, strong colours from the new D3 sensor as you can see.

Shot with auto white balance. Also shot with auto ISO (!) and one of thse shots is at ISO 1600!!!. Just amazing sensitivity given an absence of noise or grain in the finished shot. For perspective, ISO 400 can be considered high ISO on most sensors and most film for that matter.
