Here's an example of what I want the D800E for, Slobodan

Rocks from Teller County 1 (The back road home from Cripple Creek).

Is it just me, or does that look like a photograph of a very nice train set?

Russ, is this the long, slippery slide down to photographing unfaced brick walls?

You're too good to waste on this stuff.

Russ, save your money and just get back out on the street with the Leica. That's my two cents.

But when my D800E arrives in a couple of weeks I'll post some shots of brick walls.  

[RSL]

Okay Pop, if brick walls are your thing, I probably can add a few too.

Okay you guys. I don't plan to stop shooting on the street. It's still my favorite thing, but I want to branch out. I especially want that camera for the wabi sabi stuff I used to do a lot of. Once it's here I plan to make the rounds of western Kansas and northern New Mexico to catch what's left of the older west. A few years ago I did a collection I called "For a Wind Passeth Over It," and sold several prints from the series out of local galleries (before they closed down.) I plan to go back to some of those places with the (for now) ultimate camera.

And thanks, Rob, for the compliment.

Fair play to you, Russ - more power to your elbow.

I wish the back road to my home looked like that.  sigh...
