I have been playing with my new camera, a Nikon D700, and my poor dogs have been the subjects. I wanted to see what the camera would do in low light so waited until after 5pm when the sun had just about set but there was still light...not enough for my old camera, but definitely enough for the new one. That is exactly the reason I wanted this one --- to allow me to keep shooting in less than good light. I only pumped the ISO up to 800, but never would have gotten a shot with no noise at that setting with the D200. So, I'm happy! And looking forward to shooting in new situations in the new year. I hope all of y'all have some fun and interesting things to look forward to also!
I like the shot and hurray for no noise. I do detect a bluish color cast in this shot though. I played around with it in LR2 and it showed to have a cast.
ReplyDeleteThe color cast is in both photos. It's toward the blue or cool in both.
ReplyDeleteThe sun had set and they were taken on the concrete around the pool and basically in shade, so I guess all of that is blue/gray. I think my white balance was set to a Kelvin temp of 5260 which is something Larry recently told me he does that brings the warmth down a little from the cloudy setting...but now that I think about it that may be only when he is using flash. I didn't spend much time processing these and I guess that shows!
ReplyDeleteIf I remember right, the Kelvin temp you mention is for his SB800 flashes whenever he uses them. I'm pretty sure he doesn't hold to that any other time.
ReplyDeleteThe Tobymeister and Pearl look content. Glad you are having fun with that new camera! No more griping about "I can't get that shot!" Does this mean cemeteries at dusk??
