Nice image, just curious why such high ISO when you are using a tripod?

Jody, I'm experimenting a bit as I learn to use the D700. The light from the sky lights was not real bright. The D700 has an FX sensor and noise is almost nil. So, I started using the higher ISO under what most would consider low light conditions. So far, the results seem to be quite good. (IMO) I usually shoot with ISO 100 or 200.
Thanks for asking,
Dave

Pure art, Dave! You just might have an Editor's Pick over on the Flora Gallery with this one! :eek: Your arrangement, lighting, background, and choice of flowers are all superb! :toast: :toast:

Dave- Outstanding as Usual! Looks like you are adapting to the new Nikon just fine!
