With the Nikon D7000, I rarely shoot at higher than ISO 800, but there are the odd times when you just need to push the limits of the camera. I was in Ottawa this past weekend and ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 was the norm at night. There was only one place I visited at night--Parliament Hill. If I could, I would have visited Occupy Ottawa, I was told just east of Parliament Hill.
I did bring my tripod but the night I used it, it was so cold so I did not spend much time on the Hill. The second night was warmer and was cloudy--great for photography by the way--but I forgot the bring the tripod along so it was all hand-held. I also had my not-so-fast 18-200mm walkaround lens on. With a not so great setup, I had to resort to pulling as much juice from the D7000 as possible.
So, hand held, these were some of the pictures I took with the D7000:
50mm, ISO 3200, f/4.8, 1/15 seconds:
18mm, ISO 1600, f/4.0, 1/6 seconds:
18mm, ISO 1600, f/4.5, 1/5 seconds:
18mm, ISO 1600, f/4.5, 1/4 seconds:

Invasion of What?
What are these bugs? I've never seen them before. I saw them at my parents' place the other day. Lots of them in soil or grassy areas.

Nice pix.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for the winter lights. I think those lights go on on December 1, so I was a few days too early. Looking back at the pictures though, I am not so sure if I want the winter lights on. Although nothing really natural about it, the current night lights make the buildings more natural looking than the winter lights would.
