I just wanted to stop on here and let you know how pleased with the photos were! I have plenty to choose from for head shots and everyone who has looked at them thinks they're gorgeous as well.

When I'm ready for new ones, I'll definitely be back to you!

Thank you so much for the great work!

Bill...
Just read your posting on a DPReview thread about shooting a D-200 at ISO 1600. Based on your comments, I thought you might have some relevant advice for me. I would have preferred contacting you via e-mail. But where I am today, I don't have e-mail access. But if you respond, please do so to the e-mail address that I posted below.

Most people who need to shoot at high ISO do so because of a low light situation. In my case, the light is not partucularly low. But, like you, I have a need to shoot at a high shutter speed.

I am a sailor on Lake Erie and shoot sailboats from the deck of another boat. The deck of a heeling and bouncing sailboat is obviously not a platform conducive to either a tripod or a stable handheld position. In addition, I'm shooting a D-200 with a non-VR telephoto lens (up to 300mm). With the combination of non-VR telephoto and unstable shoting platform, the only obvious solution to getting decently sharp photos is high shutter speed. This is fine in mid-day. But as sundown approaches for mid-week evening races, the fading light requires cranking up the ISO.

Short of investing in a VR lens (or D-300), do you have any hints about how high I should crank the ISO of a D-200 in these conditions and still keep noise low enough to permit good-quality enlargements (up to 10X14 for 5X7 proportions) for my fellow yacht cub members who love my photos of their own boats in racing action? Does shooting Raw have any particular beneft with respect to noise alone under these conditions?

We're talking about a shooting perspective close enough to see on-deck crew work and individual faces. So a level of noise reducion that wipes out detail isn't a favored solution.

Thanks in advance. BTW I haven't reviewed your whole site, but love some of your portraits. Besides the sailing photography, that's another area of particular interest to me. For portraits, my 90mm f2.8 Tamron seems to be noticeably sharper (and has better Bokeh) than any of my three Nikon lenses (including a 50mm f1.4)

Wow you photos are amazing. I was checking out the South Dakota North Dakota section. Noticed you were shooting in Mobridge and Pollock. Very cool I used to go out there every summer. I have a few relatives in that area.

Beautiful work, Bill, I especially like the one of Ken, my father-in-law! I've been enjoying perusing your gallery for some time now. Keep up the great work!

Hey Bill! It's been awhile. Didn't know you were such an avid photographer. I came across your posts on dpreview and tracked you down. Nice images. You should try springtime down here in southern Missouri.
MJ Moss 07-Jan-2008 18:28
DUDE! All this time and I have to catch up--am WAAAAYY impressed. Love the portraits--wish you were closer. B&W has always been a fav of mine--orig coney island, mill ruins, oven, fire escape, stonearch bridge--wow. Loved the camera tour--what sane, funny little travelers--esp liked Mon. in roermond, Thirsty in Perth, perth sunrise, pinnacles, early am yellowknife, binary, which one, bareback, steamboat springs sculpture, legs 21 and 22 for their innovation and humor and sleeping it off. And where do I get my snappies? I am back to site for more Willy G fix

Hi Bill,
Just spent quite a while viewing your many pictures, even my wife joined me as she spotted many shots which appealed to her too.
They are brilliant Bill, absolutely brilliant, with so many varied and different themes.
I have now bookmarked your gallery as a favourite.
Best Wishes to you
Steve

Hey Bill, you've got an amazing gallery here. Most of the locations and even some of the animals I recognize...where are your frog photos from? And are you a member of any of the local photo clubs? Love your work.

"Not telling. Not yet."

???????
Guest 12-Aug-2006 04:18
Not telling. Not yet. So tell me, when/how DID you pick up this ability? Have you been at it for awhile? Did you study photography somewhere? How much (if any) touching up by computer do you do? What kind of camera do you use? Is your work displayed anywhere? Are you doing this professionally or is it a hobby?
Bill Moss07-Aug-2006 11:36
I am, thanks for the compliment. Who are you?
Guest 07-Aug-2006 00:01
Are you Bill from Coon Rapids and later Cambridge? Man, your photos are incredible! When did you pick up this talent???
Guest 03-Aug-2006 05:54
Bill--
I am the Billy Mullaney of whom you have posted a (really great) picture in one of your "misc. portraits" galleries. I would like to "copy/paste" it onto my own website yet a pang of conscience requires me to request permission first--I think your work is fantastic and I wouldn't want to be an accessory to the godless piracy which could trample it. So from one Bill to another, may I use it?
Nancy 11-Feb-2006 22:21
I am the spouse of a retired USAF, originally from MN. I appreciate the artistic eye you have for my childhood home! Thanks for the lovely photos.

Hey Bill,

It's Dayna Jean Wolter from Cappa Ferro Productions (Chess Game) and Shakespeare's Love Child .

I LOVE your stuff here babe. It's wonderful!!!!

Wondering if in 2004 I can ask you to do some action work for Cappa Ferro in capturing the fight community in action. Could we talk about what that would entail and if possible?

Also, wondering if I could use some of your shots of the village in a new listserve I am starting for the entertainment comunnity. The village is our sandbox and you have the best shots I have seen of the playground itself.

Please get back to me at queenvalkyrie@hotmail.com. Thanks Bill. Hope all is delightful with your world.

Namaste'
