Hand-held night test shots

DI-Joe

So I went to Bennigan's last night to get some wings and took my 5D with both my L-glass lenses...

Here are a couple with the 24-105mm f/4L

These are hand held at ISO3200 the exposure time is about 0.5 seconds and 0.04(1/25th) seconds respectively. I suppose it helps that I'm also an expert marksman and anyone who knows anything about marksmanship knows that a slow, steady trigger squeeze keeps everything else on target and steady. Oh, and Canon IS rawks.

The key things here is that they're low-light hand-held shots that are still sharp. I'm impressed.

So am I. The colors, contrast and textures are phenomenal! I like each of them for different reasons.

Both of them, in my opinion, especially the second one (minus the coffee cup and the specular highlights in the upper left corner of the window) could be in a brochure for the car.

Very nicely done.

haha, thanks...

Just to clarify, they have had their noise reduction treatments, but I was able to leave my noiseware at it's default settings, the noise was manageable even at iso3200.

The lights on the dash are ultra bright, I'm surprised that you were not able to tone those down a bit.... I've seen shots where people have the numbers and dials clearly visible at night and readable.

Awwww you boys and your toys
Just remember NOT to take photos when you drive though wont you.

Happy Shooting .... Skippy

The reason is that I exposed for the wiper control, not the dials, thus making the shot more difficult(slower shutter speed).
