First go at night lights with the D90
This one is from my first evening outing attempting to capture night lights.
Had many failures of course as is natural when experimenting, but I thought this one worked pretty well. Some minimal pp has been done, levels, curves & usm. The low noise level at iso 3200 impressed me.  exif - 50mm, 1/10", f2.8, iso 3200. Merry Christmas to all and your families and all the best for 2009. Cheers, John JED

I really like it - the colours really "pop" and the low noise does look great.

Nice work. I really like the colourful reflections in the river.

Re: First go at night lights with the D90
Thanks for the comments, guys.
Having a lot of fun with the D90. Hopefully one day my skills & vision will catch up up to the camera's abilities.  Brocot, when I go back for another session, I will remember to take the tripod. Cheers, John JED

Re: First go at night lights with the D90
A tripod is a great tool for night shooting.
Great shots from both D90's, although I have a D300 I rarely crank mine up past 1600 ISO. Cameron

Re: First go at night lights with the D90
I agree, the graining becomes more noticable after 1600 in low light, although I am really impressed with the D90's results @ 1600 ISO. “ If you cannot explain it simply, you dont understand it well enough ”

Re: First go at night lights with the D90
Very nice, the grain is there, but still very acceptable. Have you guys cranked it up to 6400 ISO?? I find it gives my photos a very 'arty' effect on the D300
