all this talk about iso noise is such ROT. i detest how much time people put into talking about this rubbish. it has become almost the online definition of how good a camera is. how many times do you see a thread on a new camera and the only thing tested is iso performance ? screw that, give me DR any day. rendition of subtle tonal changes is a beautiful thing.

I totally agree...thats all the tests focus around. HOWEVER - I have now noticed what a difference it makes to be able to shoot at ISO 1600 or higher when needed, with NO degradation to image quality, saturation or tonal graduations (that I can tell).
When walking about the forrest near me, it gets dark in there. Put on ISO auto up to 3200 and I wont really notice a drop in quality.

Opens up a whole different world of shooting !

One from the weekend (cant remember iso...around 640?!)

Actually just checked...it was ISO 1250!

My suggestion Rooz, as I sent you a PM about (so we're all clear that I'm not doing PP work on other people's pictures and putting them out here without permission) is this:



Just adds a bit of drama imho, and the whole job took about 15 minutes.

One of my photos from yesterday from a hand held 3-shot HDR. I created another version of the same photo with a more grunge look. It's just too bad the weather conditions weren't like when I took a photo of "elephant rock" a while back, i.e. actually rained then instead of just cloud cover. Oh well.

14-24

That is stunning...great shot. Did you PP the clouds or were they like that? And if so what the hell you doing so near those waves with a D700 + 14-24

[Rooz]

thanks phil. there is a little l&C on the clouds but nothing too extravagant. alot more post on the water ripples etc yes i was close, (about knee deep at times). yes it was raining. yes i got wet. yes i had HEAPS of fun !!

i handheld the filters and used a chamois cloth to clean em.

[herc182]

what PP did you do on the ripples?

Knee deep! Jesus, I dont have that dedication (or balls)

i used a fair bit of burning to bring out the shadows of the rocks under the water
