Fiddlehead and On

It seems we’re in the midst of one of the best fall color seasons in Baltimore that I can remember. I went out today with the D80 and shot with two lenses- the 12-24mm f4 DX and the 105mm f2.8 VR Micro. This image with the 105mm.

For sharpness edge to edge, these are now my go to lenses. While I like shooting with the 24mm and 50mm primes, these two lenses show better contrast on the D80. The range is wide and the lenses are heavy but compact.

My local dealer tells me that the D300’s will be shipping on Wednesday and arriving Friday. The D80 image quality is certainly good enough, but I would like the 100% view and the more pro oriented metering.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
