I am getting fat(ter). Exercise has been limited as of late. So I went for a good walk tonight. Why not take the camera and have a challenge? It was low light (dusk). High ISO’s are avoided by me a lot. I set my D3s ISO to 5000, and the aperture to f/9. All hand held (I was exercising and did not have much time to stop). The noise in the pic’s turned out pretty darn slight. Yes it’s there but very acceptable!
I had to do a black and white. It’s in my blood! What a better subject than leaves and flowers.
Back home it was getting dark. Tried the good old flash. Used a ring flash I bought last year. Same setting except lower ISO to 3200 and lowered exposure comp by -.7 stop.
