Everything you said in your post makes sense...I shoot RAW but output Tiffs and Jpegs...NEVER RAW

Yes, exactly...that is the key here. The more you shoot and have feeback on photos (from clients or friends that know photography..NOT Mom) the quicker you can look around the viewfinder ( and know what you're looking for) before you press the shutter. BUT, I believe that ONLY comes with shooting and analyzing the results, not by having your camera sit in a drawer with summer vacation pics on the same card (or roll of film) as your Christmas vacations.True words. This implies a discipline that we should all aspire to when preserving an image for posterity. Once we learn the basics of photography, it becomes easier to do for every shot.
Lol - you are right, it is NEF. That wasn't a typo on my part I must have at some point got it into my head that it was NIF and never thought about it again lol. Yes, it is NEF. I corrected my post.Not to be anal, but it's actually NEF - Nikon Electronic Format .....I know I'm being anal!
Funny I found the opposite.Digital is dream for us professional photographers because it reduces the work flow and deliver images to our clients faster than ever.
Clearly, but then an average photog with a D3, awesome lens and some practice...... that's where I am.....I bet a GOOD photog with a simple "point and shoot" could out shoot a BAD photog with 2 D3's and 6 lenses. Easily!
I have seen a shot of a person under a street lamp at night shot on a D3 at 25,600 "iso"..very passable!Clearly, but then an average photog with a D3, awesome lens and some practice...... that's where I am.....
I also love the insane ISO on the D3s - took a pic of my xmas tree in a dark room at night and it looked like it was flashed...... night vision indeed.

I just priced a Nikon D3 at $4,000. That is double the price of a Nikon D300. Do the pros shoot with a D3 for a living?I have seen a shot of a person under a street lamp at night shot on a D3 at 25,600 "iso"..very passable!
There are two digital sensor formats - DX and FX.I just priced a Nikon D3 at $4,000. That is double the price of a Nikon D300. Do the pros shoot with a D3 for a living?

Exactly..but you can get an old D70 for next to nothing and have it converted for IR. IR is something like a Fish Eye lens though, "easy to use, difficult to use effectively"As far as I know unless you modify digital cameras you can't take images as if there were IR and the modification is permanent, The images were very icy grey and quite beautiful.

You guys just lost 99% of the TERB audience. Also, what in blazes is a "fisheye lense"?Also, check out the tutorials on processing IR pics in Photoshop

Is that how they capture the entire length of a football field in one shot? Or, is that panorama?
There is often distortion when a fisheye is used:http://www.jasonhollister.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10001/polish2.jpgIs that how they capture the entire length of a football field in one shot? Or, is that panorama?
