Low light photography

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Low light photography

The low light capabilities of the D700 have astounded me. It shouldn't as I have heard it all before in reviews and after all by now it is regarded as an 'old' camera.

This first shot was taken in Brisbane last weekend while strolling along Southbank with the kids and my better half. 50mm f1.8 @f4, 1/40s, ISO3200, handheld.

This shot was taken while taking a ride on the Brisbane Wheel and through the glass(?) of the cabin. No polarizer, 50mm f1.8 @f3.5, 1/30s, ISO3200, handheld.

Image

And the last, again taken through the window of the cabin. No polarizer, 50mm f1.8 @f3.5, 1/40s, ISO640, handheld.

Yep these camera's are getting pretty amazing - I felt the same way when I got the D7000 - basically usable shots at high ISO (I'm often taking indoor low light photos trading ISO for faster shutter speeds at kids events (even at wide apertures) - I've got lots of shots in the ISO 2000 to 6400 range which with a touch of LR noise reduction are easily clean enough for printing)
