First item on the agenda: I got my Mini Moo Cards today! FINALLY! I decided to order only two photos for the batch this time instead of fiddling around with the 20 or so last time. There were so many different photos to choose from that I was showing the whole collection every time and people couldn’t decide which one to take. The choices are now narrowed down to two: wedding glasses with (Fancy and Rod’s) rings in them, or a spouting geyser in Iceland. There’s a lot more information in the back, though: my Toronto and Vancouver phone numbers, one email address, two website addresses.
I took a photo of them on my computer in low light and high ISO to test the noise on the D300. It looks pretty noisy here in a larger size, but according to the EXIF data it’s at ISO4000, f/2.8, 1/320s. Not bad. I tested the noise reduction utility in Capture NX on this photo and it works quite well at <15%, better than using Adobe Camera RAW.
In other banal news, it’s SNOWING. Here’s what the tree in the front yard looks like now versus six days ago:
