Midnight In The Land Of Lost Souls




-------
Pentax K-x, 50mm F:1.4, 1600 ISO.
Not easy to handhold at maybe 1/30th with an (effectively) short tele, I had many duds (unsharp). [Update: on closer look they were actually focusing errors, I guess a combination of the low light and my not paying attention enough to whether the camera had achieved correct focus before pressing the button.] But some were perfect. And the autoexposure did a fine job. The auto-whitebalancing too, actually, the light is really that orange.

  1. A 1/30th shutter speed is easy to hand hold. Learning handling techniques is an option.

    Another option is to hire a REAL photographer to shoot pictures for you, so you don't have to bundle up your non-photographic knowledge brain, take it outdoors, and risk actually learning something about photography.

  2. I thought the photographer focused the image, not the camera.
