Nikon D200 gallery
The following images were taken with the Nikon D200 using the Nikkor 17-55mm
f2.8 G ED lens. Each image was recorded using the Large Fine JPEG mode, optimised
for quality rather than size. The D200 was set to Matrix metering and its Optimise
Image parameter set to the default Normal for sharpening, tone, colour, saturation
and hue. The individual file size, exposure mode, shutter speed, aperture, ISO
and lens details are listed for each image.
The crops are taken from the original files, reproduced at 100% and saved in Adobe
Photoshop CS2 as JPEGs with the default Very High quality preset, while the resized
full images were made in Photoshop CS2 and saved with the default High quality
preset. The three crops are typically taken from far left, central and far right
portions of each image.

This shot of The London Eye was taken
on a sunny Winter's day with the Nikkor 17-55mm zoomed-into 44mm.
There's a high level of detail in the crops and low noise as you'd expect
at 100 ISO. |

This shot of the Hungerford
footbridge over The River Thames was taken with the 17-55mm lens at its
widest focal length.
The combination of dark shadows under the bridge and bright sky behind it
has caused no problems for Nikon's Matrix metering.
The exposure is well balanced and the crops reasonably sharp, although there's
evidence of a little fringing around areas of high contrast. |

This shot of London's
Borough Market was taken with the 17-55mm lens at its widest focal length.
While many exposure systems are fooled by the very bright skylights in this
composition, the D200's metering system has delivered another well-balanced
exposure.
The dimmer conditions forced an increase in sensitivity to 400 ISO, but
noise levels remain low. |

This shot was taken using the Nikkor 17-55mm
lens zoomed-in to its longest focal length. The aperture was set to f2.8
to minimise the depth-of-field.
Despite only having a maximum focal length of 55mm, this Nikkor lens offers
great portrait results and an attractive bokeh with its aperture wide open.
Again at 100 ISO, there's no noise to speak of. |

This shot of the London
New Year's Day parade was taken with the Nikkor 17-55mm lens at 26mm.
To achieve decent exposures on this dim, overcast day we increased the ISO
to 800 and set the compensation to +0.7EV to counteract the very bright
sky area.
The crops show no fringing against the bright sky, while the noise levels
even at 800 ISO remain very usable. |
