Continuing the theme... colors...

At 12-bits the camera should register 12,286 colors. Is that right? 4096 colors per color channel (red, blue, green).... maybe it's 4096 squared.... so let's count the colors in the photo....

With apologies to Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Behind every gnarled chestnut tree....

.... hides a very playful squirrel!

Although I found this tree in a stand of American Elms, I think it's an ancient Gnarled Chestnut Tree planted back in the late 1850s. Over 330 exotic species were originally planted in Central Park, but many didn't survive. According to the Central Park Conservancy 148 species of trees can be found in the Park.

A note on the Nikon D700s color depth: The Nikon D700 uses a 12-bit color depth which provides 4096 levels of color for each of the red, green and blue color channels of the camera. This increases to 14-bits, or 16,384 levels of color for each color channel, when shooting in RAW.

I can't wait to shoot this tree trunk in RAW and see how many more colors I can tweek out of that ancient bark! I think I see some blue....

Explored ~ Balto, a dog true to his nature!

Balto, an Alaskan sled dog, led a team that brought life-saving serum through blinding blizzard conditions to isolated Nome, Alaska, during the diphtheria epidemic of February 1925.. Ten months later this memorial to Balto and his team was erected in Central Park with Balto and his musher present at the event. True to his nature, Balto wasted no time listening to the speakers, but instead got into a fight with another dog and treed several squirrels. Atta' boy Balto! And, true to man's nature, Balto's stuffed and mounted body now resides in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

A note on the dynamic range of Nikon's D700...... FANTASTIC!

Explore #393 on 12/25? I don't understand why, but Balto is showing up on the explore page for 12/25 instead of 12/26..... Ohhhhh, I forgot to say "thank you one and all!"
