Blue Dot
Nikon D100, Tokina 17mm f3.5 ATXI saw this colorful blue orb in an otherwise drab afternoon. This is at the backside of ATT Park, next to McCovey Cove.
I felt like shooting wide yesterday, so I used the old Nikon D100 with the 17mm prime to kick off the New Year.

very nice vertical Warren. Has a nice film look to it.
Thanks Ted. Many people think D100 images have a film-like look. My D100 has a new lease on life because I'm now shooting RAW (NEF) exclusively on it. I finally have the computing power and software to handle NEF.

Yes, that's the 6MP sensor right? I think similar to the one the RD1 used. Hard to nail down, but the low to medium contrast, and gradual OOF (lettering on building) makes it eerily realistic.
Also, nice 17mm lens you have. If you didn't dial out distortion in pp, I'm pretty sure it has less than my 16mm NEX, and CV 15/4.5.
Looks very nice on a ~120ish ppi display (14" 1440x900).
Yes, it's a 6MP sensor. Less is more :).
The Tokina 17mm ATX is a real keeper, but it's monstrous... all metal barrel and lots of glass makes it very heavy. It's a bit front heavy on the D100, but balances well with my Nikon F4S.

The image really does have a film take, with muted colors. The composition with the brillant blue in the foreground is a nice juxposition to the balance of the scene. I like this image.
