Cool! I love images like this. The camera settings surprised me: it looks like there was a ton of light, but the ISO was at 2000. (My own camera settings surprise me sometimes, too. I rarely go all-manual, and sometimes there are weird decisions. The iphone picture I posted today has bright sunlight, but the phone decided to use f/2.)
Thanks! I'm shooting in full sun with the 55-300, which is a beast of a lens - no plastic there, like with my 70-300. On days like this, I'm using Program mode because I'm looking for insects, flowers in the breeze, hummingbirds and anything else and don't want to be constantly changing settings as I move around to get exposure and sharpness the best. Also, there is always the issue of stability, especially given issues with my spinal stenosis - arms get numb pretty easily. With ON1, I have no issues whatsoever with noise up to ISO 6400. I rarely shoot ISO 100 anymore except on a tripod.
Yeah, I usually use Program mode except when there's a special need for shutter or aperture priority. And I use auto-ISO. So I'm often surprised at the combinations my camera comes up with. If I was a "real" photographer I'd pay more attention, I suppose.
"Real" photographers care about the composition, not how they get it. With these new mirrorless cameras that bracket and focus stack automatically, it's less and less about technical expertise.
Nice capture love the lighting
ReplyDeleteThanks!
