Subject: Re: Pictures From Friday At Corvettes At Carlisle 2015 by bogus on 2015/9/2 1:34:14 I am so in love with the low light performance of the newer DSLRs... It is an area I have been wanting to explore, but it was very hard to do, even with film. I took some photos for my former neighbours wedding (back in DE). I was shooting when the flash died... crap... I then had to resort to super slow shutters and wide open f-stops. 30th of a second and f2.8 and no zoom. Some of them came out SO real. I was stoked. One pic had the bride lighting candles, and the groom peaking around the door. The room was ambient, with only some incandescence and the candles. The house was older with dark varnished wood trims and a burnt yellow/mustard coloured paint in semi-flat... but the way that image came out was sooo National Geographic - short of the topless women - the light was so alive and in all the right places and not too overpowering nor so very dark you couldn't see it. The colour cast was from the walls and very natural tones of the room, yet the candles glowed. I think I have a copy of that pic at home... I hope I do. I learned a lot that day and have been working for that again, but couldn't get there with the D200. Like your Df, the D810 is insane in that light. BTW, I was shooting with my Nikon FM2 35mm SLR that day. An absolute joy to shoot with. 4000th shutter and flash sync at 125th sec (IIRC). All manual. The lens was (is) a Soligor 28-80 zoom with a variable macro feature. |
