The *Official Photography Thread*

Got out today in the snow that fell late this week. Few snapshots but fun.







and a good candid of my wife

 

someone is a baller

 

You get a remote Marc?

 

Nope. Jen was shooting me tossing the snowball

And x2 on the baller with the 1dx

 

I know I'm relatively new to this but I have to say, I'm not impressed with my crop sensor in low light conditions, even at ISO 6400. I'm not going full frame anytime soon, but even with my 1.8 lenses I'm surprised how little it takes to be hurting. Something I can live with, especially for the weight/cost, just an observation.

 

Oh god ya man. 4000 iso is bad for me.

I don't get what will allow for better iso low light either..like looking at other cameras..they can do higher iso..but does that mean they will look better at 4-6000?

 

I mean if I'm shooting softball when they have the statium lights on it's still pretty dark and if I want decent shutter speeds I'm going to need to have the ISO bumped up to pretty much max or a couple stops short. I do better with my 85mm f/1.8 than I do with my f/4.5-5.6 telezoom, obviously, but even then I'm pretty limited to f/1.8-2.8 ha not a huge deal, I am just really realizing my limitations here

 

Yea when i was doing the inside of a stadium was doing 1/400th and with a 3.5-5.6f as minimum it didn't like that. But i left the iso at 4000 no matter what. The f stop would flash saying it needs to go lower..but..didn't notice a terrible drop in quality and i needed the shutter speed.




back ground has some nosie in it..but who cares about that..subject is still clear..

but im still curious what makes a DSLR handle high iso better then others..

 

Larger sensor, and back in the day lower MP, although I'm not sure that modern sensors have the same dealio. I'm pretty sure the D4, for example, has better high ISO quality than the D800 because the D800 has 36.3 stinking MP. This is what I've read anyway. I don't know . . .

 

fair enough i guess..

 

was oiling my chain and decided to mess around.




Thats my light i have mounted on the hub. Have a white one on the front. been trying to figure out how to get a shot of me pedaling by with the light all streaked out..

 

Sweet shots Monte, nice single speadr Fun with light!

 

i really like this bike. Its very very well put together. I get compliments on it haha not bad for a free bike!

and yea! i really want to have the lights on and do a ride by with a long exposure..just not sure how too do it yet..maybe i need to buy a remote..

 

Set your camera to 10-20 second exposure and set it to go off with the self timer like you were going to take a picture and get in it. You'll have 10 seconds before the camera triggers the shutter and then 10-20 seconds to ride by.

 

guess i could do that..ill try tonight.

 

I know on mine it will go up to a 30 second exposure (on camera) without having to use my external timer remote.

 

yea so will mine. I'll just have to time it good. Should be a fun thing to try this evening. Ill post up results in about..8-9 hours.

 

I'm still roaming everyone. I probably won't get back into shooting a lot until I get a new camera. But I will be back and will keep watching

 

It had been 8-9 hours . . .
