Nice... The quality that you get out of your `old' camera is remarkable.

Thank you

It seems able to hold its own, especially in good light....

Love this shot! I would love to hear about what type of post-processing you used here as I really like the effect that you are getting!

My post-processing workflow these days is to first make general adjustments in Lightroom - usually just cropping if necessary, followed by Lightroom's `automatic' adjustment (which I then tune to my liking), usually I add some `clarity' and sometimes (not often) I add a little sharpening/NR.

Then I import the adjusted image into one of the Nik programs - color efex, silver efex or analog efex - and play with it there until I get something I like. In this case, I used analog efex, starting with one of the `classic camera' filters, but I can't tell you which one I started with and what I did from that point on exactly because I don't have a fixed procedure. Some day I'll have to create some custom presets of my own... some day

Thanks for taking the time to go over all of that! The Nik plugins are definitely on my list of things to buy.

They are fun. The danger (for me) is over-processing.
