This is another shot from Peddler's Village taken the same day as the previous shots. There are lots of vendors out serving all sorts of goodies all over the Village, including hot cider cooked in iron pots over open fires. It is a wonderful place any time of year but it is especially wonderful this time of year.
This was shot at ISO 6400 in extremely low light. Even under these conditions the D700 produces a pretty decent image although a bit softer than the previous ISO 6400 shot.
I have a Seasonal theme going, as if you haven't already figured that out! I hope to be able to continue the theme throughout the month all the way to New Year's Eve.
For a much larger view go here.
Coming back to AM3 after a long hiatus. I hope to be more active in the coming months.
A wonderful shot with perfect clarity. ISO 6400 - incredible! :-)

Laurie - I am absolutely amazed. If it hadn't been in the EXIF data, I would have been sceptical about the ISO (that doesn't mean I would be doubting your word, though!). It's just magnificent!

Beautiful dolls and bokeh. I did look the difference with the bigger picture, the quality is great there.

Everything is so shiny, like a sparkling Christmas dream or a Christmas movie come to life.
8 Dec 2008 12:18pm

Hey! long time laurie! how is everything?
this is a wonderful shot, the High Iso performance is stellar!
love the festive feel as well.
I'm looking to upgrade to the D700 but not sure if i can justify the cost,i'm not making enough money out of this yet.

Very festive image. Love the light on the carolers and the angle from which you captured this giving view of the vintage looking vehicle. Well done. The village sounds like a great place to go to. Wouldn't mind a glass of warm cider.
9 Dec 2008 4:51am
Beautiful again! Love the colours, composition and atmosphere. I forgot to mention in my comment on your previous post that your D700 is really amamzing at this ISO!
9 Dec 2008 7:25am
Very good, Laurie, I like very much this funny pair. I like also the composition of this pair looking in the same direction that the human spectators.
Well done!
9 Dec 2008 10:51am
Beautiful composition, and I love the atmosphere in this series. Gorgeous!
9 Dec 2008 10:54am
HoHoHo! Great composition and point of view. I like the details and clarity of the puppets! Nice spot for shot many seasonal shot. Thank to share.
9 Dec 2008 1:31pm
Amazing -- 6400! And you're complaining about "softness" -- you're spoiled already! :) I love the deep rich colors in this series.
9 Dec 2008 1:58pm
A christmas spirit, I like these colors... Very nice shot.
9 Dec 2008 4:01pm
You are right. The camera does well with low light shots.
9 Dec 2008 6:22pm
ISO6400??? WOW And no noise. Fantastic! No I understand how you got 1/100 in the night...
Very nice perspective. This "romantic" pair add such a wonderful mood, and helped by the vintage look of the vehicle.
Great!!!
9 Dec 2008 6:41pm
D700 is great, ISO 6400... respect:) very beautiful shot
9 Dec 2008 9:16pm
Cute...looks like your producing some high quality images with your new camera.
10 Dec 2008 3:48am
It's amazing that with such high ISO your photos are as crisp as taken in daylight! That's a major problem with my D80 - a lot of noise above ISO400 :(
