I do enjoy being a rebel.
In the middle of shooting the beautiful fall colors yesterday, I remembered about Active-D Lighting. Ken Rockwell calls it ADR, or Adaptive Dynamic Range because that is what it is.
The result:

B.E.A.utiful.
That really makes me want to shoot more film... Which naturally makes me want to buy another film camera... One that is built a little more like the D300 and that has some of the same power. The Nikon F5 is what I settled on... but I won't be buying it anytime soon. Instead, I'm going to buy some film, shoot it on my N80 and get it developed. Maybe if I decide to shoot a lot more film, maybe then I can justify the F5.... but probably not.
More later
