Loved how this one came out. Shot with a 10-stop filter so despite my best efforts, it was very underexposed, but I managed to rescue it.

I have a b&w version of this that I'll post soon.

Ok, just pulled the D810 out of the box and it scared me. I have a D800 and didn't expect a huge difference. I was wrong. The AA filter in the D800 makes it much more forgiving. The first few photos I shot seemed soft. I was worried but realized the light was low so I sat the camera on the counter and snapped again. Wow! What a difference. Maybe it's just me but like I said, I do have a D800 to compare. To me there is a pretty big difference between the two. At 100% the Stanley logo lettering is very crisp.
Edit: @ 1.4, 1/30, ISO 250

This was taken on the golf course I live on in SC. He was using the pond to bath and wasn't spooked by me or golfers driving past.

You guys are awesome! Really love these photos. Excellent start to October.
@HipShot, I could totally see a creative edit for that photo. Somehow totally bring up the blacks in one of the rooms if possible and edit in someone appearing to be looking out of the window. Spooky thoughts for October ...
Congrats @autofocus!

As for the above photo, I asked them if it would be OK for me to shoot a photo of them from that angle. Told them it would be mostly a silhouette. They agreed without hesitation and loved the result.

The Dutch Spitfire, photo by Ben Ullings. We were en-route to The Kooij for an airshow.
These are the original colours. Note the clipped wings, gave a couple of knots more speed.
The tips are put on again now, because of the typical Spitfire shape.
