DwightMcCann so, what are we talking about?  21,402 posts Likes: 44 Joined Feb 2005 Location: Buellton, California, USA More info | May 01, 2007 16:56 | #3 Welcome to POTN! Not bad at all, although as Tipsy says many look out of focus. My favorite is #6 (I don't know why we all say which are our favorites!) although it would be nice if he'd pull up his pants (I am old and this "style" doesn't appeal to me.) Is there some reason you did not use ISO1600? Did you feel that you had any problems with focus? Did you autofocus? In any case, please be sure to bring us anything else you shoot ... we always anxious to see what others are doing and offer suggestions ... and watch out for the bullies who want you to do all sorts of fancy RAW multi-processing tricks!

I'm not sure if you were using one-shot or AI-servo, but since you shot those with the 50/1.8 I'm guessing you used AI-servo. ISO1600 really does not cause as much noise as you think as long as you expose correctly. Underexposed photos is where noise really shows up. Tom
