Roger, I have a reques for you!

Roger I have a couple of requests for you on your upcoming trip.

-Can you take some night shots with your d300 and 18-200?
-can you take some of Tomorrowland, adventureland, or the castle?
-especially if you go to the Pirate & Princess Party.

-Can you use the following settings?
-handheld with no tripod!
-iso1600 and up
-f3.5
-fine jpeg! not raw

-Can you share these with us with just a little PP?

I am interested to see how the D300 and my favorite lens the 18-200 perform in our "World" at night.
THANKS!

 

No problem.

Again, no problem since I won't have my tripod for the first night anyway (unless DME delivers quicker than getting checked into a room!)

3.5 sounds like 18mm.

Well I've only got Capture NX installed on my work "laptop"; perhaps I'll get PSP XI reinstalled on the XP partition tonight/tomorrow. Otherwise it only be PP by the D300.

 

yep, I usually go for 18mm at night so that I can get the f3.5. Otherwise it gets too hard to handhold really quick!

THANKS!

 

And I should just install PSP X2 tryout on my XP partition...sheesh. Still trying to get used to Fusion v Boot Camp.

 

Here you go...

Boy it's been interesting to say the least. Saturday my daughter and I were outside at the Boardwalk letting her have a corn dog and ashes were flying everywhere.

Yesterday I think my 50/1.4 bit the dust.

ISO 1600, f/3.5, 1/15 sec. No PP, just resized. I think I did turn High ISO NR on.

Roger that shot is wonderful, it really captures the essence of the area at night!

 

Scott, I was using JPG Fine + RAW, I was using standard picture control with D-lighting at high. This morning I created a new standard that bumped the sharpness up - I didn't like the sharpness level of standard.

Thanks Jeff!

 

Thanks Roger! It is noise free.
I also have my d80 set up with the sharpness bumped up to med hi. "normal" is too soft. I do turn back to normal though when I take people pics sometimes.

I have high iso noise reduction off on my d80, it decreases sharpness. I would rather do that step on the computer if needed.

What happened to the 50?

 

Not sure, but it won't AF anymore. I know it isn't the camera, since it'll drive the 80-400.

 

Here's the castle at night handheld

Here's the castle. Not f/3.5, but still handheld at ISO1600.

Re: Here's the castle at night handheld

Looks good Roger,
How did you like the 18-200?

 

I loved using it; lower contrast than what I'm used to, but that's what presets and stamping are for in A2.
