ISO 1600 experiment

water · 05-03-2008, 08:46

Went to the Botanic Gardens last night to view a chinese lantern/light display type thing.No flash or tripods allowed so not a lot to be captured.I decided to use the opportunity and set the camera [Canon 20D] to ISO 1600 to see what happened.Have not got a lot to show but here is one which I am pleasantly surprised with.Yes,it's very noisy and appears unsharp but not too bad for a handheld shot with no handy fence /wall etc to brace myself against. The settings were 1/8th sec @ F4 and ISO 1600.
Now,with a newer camera that handled noise better,set to ISO3200/6400 and using an Image Stabilised lens what would be possible.....

Great picture John

Love that blue colour and the rest of the image is very complimentary.

It might not be perfect - but at least you got the shot.
