Very busy place Times Square. Hope to get there one day Nice images Kerry.
I think the third shots just illustrates how important it is to not underexpose the shots when using high ISO. The third shot while highlights cop a bit of a blowout in parts really shows just how well the D70 does in high ISO in the hands of a good operator.
How does the D200 compare in this situation
cheers

Times Square is just too cool. I haven't been there in a few years, but it's always fun to people watch there.

I was really happy with the exposures I got from the d70. My preliminary tests and impressions indicate that the d200 might have a little more dynamic range and equal or better noise performance. I don't have a Times Square type of place to go test the d200, so it will have to wait a while.

Next month, I plan to attend the dog show, so I'll be running the d200 at high ISO there, but it's not really a high contrast type of scene like these shots.

Love it, this and all your other NYC threads brings back so many personal memories of my favourite place in the world.

Kerry I hope you're sticking around NYC for the new year's eve celebrations. The 'centre of the universe', it's gunna go off!

Thanks Onyx, glad you enjoyed them.

I wish I were there too. My hotel was only 1 block away from the Times Square area. Unfortunately, I was only there 2 days and am back in detroit now.

Wow kerry it looks as though you captured some twins in the second shot. I like the lights and the clarity of all of the shots.

Times Square was a great place to visit when I was in NY a few years ago. Great shots. What noise reduction have you used on these?? Any special sharpening techniques (like dropping into LAB etc)??

Nito: Thanks for the kind comments.

Rob: Thanks also, for your kind comments. I didn't use any special sharpening, just a mild dose of USM. I don't recall which program I used for NR. I've been using Bibble 4.5 for RAW conversion and I think I used the internal NR in Bibble, but not sure.

Great shots...very atmospheric! For one who has never been to NY I can almost smell the place through the imagery. Thanks for posting and sharing.

Thanks, Matt. I'm glad that you enjoyed them.
