365/99 Capturing Motion/6

Today I decided to drop trying to capture the moment and take control over silly things like composition, light and subject matter. I purposely left the color temperature a little more yellow, because the white balanced photo looked almost sickly pale. This photo showed the most motion, so it's the one I'm keeping. I might have chosen a faster shutter speed if I were to try this setup again.


Lens and camera settings:
50mm f/2.0 @ f/4.0, 1/20sec and ISO 1000. WB at 2800K (Tungsten).

365/80 Night Time/1

I wanted a "natural light" dark photo, so no flash was used. Instead I used a desk lamp and turned off all other lights. I say it's a success! It's amazing what the camera can still capture with almost zero light! And since I shot at ISO 100, there is no noise at all!

Lens and camera settings:

14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 @ 40mm, f/8.0, 2.5 seconds and ISO 100.

Black and White conversion of Pinhead Susan's

I wanted to try a B&W conversion, just to see if it's better than the color version. Anyone with CC, please step forward!

More Image Stabilization Fun!

We decided to try a new place to eat, which worked out wonderfully, because the service and food were awesome! More relevant to the theme of this post, I decided to take my camera with me in the hopes of capturing something nice from downtown. Knowing it was going to be dark, I wanted to push the limits of this camera a little by using image stabilization in combination with high ISO and low shutter speed. I say it was a success! Yes, if you take this image to 100% crop, one could say it's a little noisy, but it's all luminance noise, and if "properly" filtered, it could add something to the picture rather than take something away. No camera shake whatsoever and after white balancing the image, it looks pretty good!

Lens and camera settings:

14-45mm f/3.5 - 5.6 @ 19mm, f/3.8, 1/25sec and ISO 1600. IS on, handheld.
