Nikon D700 Sample Print

UPDATE: The sale is now closed. Thanks very much to everybody who ordered one! The print will be limited to 45 signed and numbered copies in this size. I'm about halfway done with the printing as of midnight Sunday, Dec. 21, so these will be mailed by early January.

I think it'd be more useful to see what the camera at high ISO with the house lights turned off.

Ha Ha, so the proof of the pudding . . . .

What is it about houses covered with fresh snow?

One of my favorite pictures was, like yours above, a test shot with a new digital camera. It was of my parent's house taken on a White Christmas morning.

Mike, I would like to order one of these prints but frankly the process confuses me. I deal with PayPal only infrequently and then only when my Amex card doesn't work.

I enjoy the images you sold a couple of years ago.

Thanks

Really like the shot. Mike, you should consider selling more of your off-the-cuff test shots just like this - quick, affordable impulse buys for us T.O.P groupies. I know a good number of us over in the Pentax forums follow you closely and would like to have some Johnston prints like this hanging around.

Yes, if one just wanted a print of a high ISO image. But it would make a lousy print as far as an appealing photo goes.

Dear Jimmie,

I don't agree. A scene like this with the lights off would be very low in contrast and essentially monochrome. It wouldn't tell you anything about color rendition or exposure range under low-light conditions. For a "qualitative" test, this is a remarkably informative photograph for the savvy viewer.
