This week it's my good old friend Kit. These were taken using my Nikon D70s w/ Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G 'Kit' lens. As requested, I've posted the exif data from the camera.

Enjoy.

Amazing pics you have an amazing skill

Wish i was that good

TheDude · 18 February 2008, 11:29 PM

Inspiring work.

I love that lens too - it's amazing the kind of work you can get from it.

rainman_16 · 19 February 2008, 01:05 PM

Beautiful pictures. You sure you don't shoot for Nat Geo

Stef_Call · 19 February 2008, 11:09 PM

Great shots Mike !! You really have an eye for a great pic !!!!

JBat · 20 February 2008, 04:21 AM

Nice shots. Looks like you do a lot of post processing to your images. Care to share?

Uncle-AJ · 20 February 2008, 06:17 PM

Nice pictures and I noticed you never went below 18mm, therefore I should be able to do as good with my 18-200mm.

I wish.

Gedanken · 21 February 2008, 12:06 AM

Great shots, Mike!

Kit lenses are seriously underrated.

I shoot in RAW and use Adobe LightRoom for post.

Thanks! And yes they are- though I'd kill for some more gold-rimmed glass

Ronnie Rolex · 21 February 2008, 07:12 AM

Outstanding photos!

vh_bu98 · 21 February 2008, 04:01 PM

Nice work there.

The 18-70mm was the best kit lens out there. It's a pity that it's no longer a kit. If you're interested in some gold rim glass, I have a 28-70mm I'm getting rid of.

By the way, how much post-processing do you do?

JJ Irani · 21 February 2008, 04:14 PM

Great stuff, Mike. I love the one with the trees shrouded in the mist!!

I do color correction and play with curves
