 Booked for Christmas dinner yet?
If not, you'd better hurry.
 Bookings may be made here , which is where you'll also find the menu. The venue is the Rockefeller Bar & Grill, on King St in the city, on December 8. It's just a month till it happens, but  bookings will be closed well before then. 
 As always, this will be a top night, with the announcement of the PotY, OMotY, and, of course ....
White on White  (looks good in red, too, eh?     )
 This should be a fun challenge for you to shoot, with just so many different possibilities . How much thought have you given this so far? Have you got a basic concept in mind? 
 Lighting? That will be a most important aspect of this challenge. 
 As will exposure and contrast.
 Have fun.
Full size D3 image post Leigh went to the D3/D300 product launch yesterday. I've posted one image here . More to come, but prepare to be impressed.
D300 pricing through Poon . And I'm starting to take orders.   Last edited by gstark  on Mon Nov 19, 2007 8:22 pm, edited 2 times in total.

 White balance is old hat. The new buzz word and 'modus operandi' is black balance! Get with it people! Regards
