Laurie Jeffery just showed me this picture. I've talked before of the low-light capabilities of the Nikon D3, and this is an example.
(If interested, I can email you the full camera file.)
It was taken, for one thing, at 1/8th of a second at the long end of a 70-200mm zoom lens with VR (Vibration Reduction is Nikon's name for Image Stabilization).
For another thing at 1600 ISO. Try to find noise in it.
The room was quite dark, and her face was lit only by the screen of a MacBook.
I think that if Laurie had gone to 3200 ISO, there would still have been very little noise, and the slight camera shake would have been gone.
Gorgeous picture - and she's starting to look so grown up!
ReplyDeleteIt's spooky how much she looks like her mom, all the way to the hair which has never been cut.
