GESO, pushing the K-x performance envelope
I was at a party last night and the hostess asked I had brought my camera, because she really likes to have photos of her party. This was, of course, after the lights had been turned way down for the dancing. Many of these shots were hand held, ISO 6400, f 1.8 with the sigma 20/1.8 at 1/6 second. They are not very sharp. Some of them might aspire to the sharpness of a closeup of as Seurat painting taken with brownie with vaseline smeared on the lens, or perhaps of Frank shooting in a disco using a kit lens, when he has a bad hangover. On the other hand, considering the lighting and that I was shooting people dancing, the fact that anything is at all recognizable is a small triumph of Pentax engineering over the forces of darkness. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157623668555388/ or for those that prefer the flickriver interface: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157623668555388/ My favorites from the set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4452756695/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4453536132/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4453536458/ two couples http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4452762805/ Now, I really want to stage some human celtic knotwork photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4452764927/ -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
