When I used to do film photography 1/60 was as slow as I'd go, slower than that and camera shake and image blurring got pretty bad. I've taken photos at shows using 400 film and they've been pretty good. I did try 1000 film at one point and found it gave very good shutter speeds but found the images way too grainy. Clearly 800 is a good midway point.GlynRichards wrote:I see, so is that a relatively slow shutter, but faster 'film speed' them?24db wrote:lol....click and hope
a serious answer? ok, shutter priority at between 1/30-1/60th of second and probably about 800 ASA/ISO, with a 50mm 1.8 lens. and I normally underexpose by 2/3rds of a stop
I will have to go back and 'de-noise' some of them though
Don't know much about these new fangled devices to be honest!
I think the real trick is to use a camera lens with a fairly big aperture (ie a low f number - in Andy's case 1.. I'm also interested to see that he underexposes his images, the temptation in low light levels is to go the other way.
I'm a little bit sad that I didn't take a camera to the show but think that it would have gone ppphhzzzzzttt in all the rain.
