Fun with ISO 6 and the 14n


Having got off to a shaky start....my own fault I hasten to add.....with the low ISO settings in the 14n, yesterday I eventually found sometime to have a little play. I had intended shooting a sunset as we were briefly blessed with a period of clearish skys late afternoon but the wind speed meant that the clouds were moving too fast for the long exposure times with ISO 6. I decided instead after finding one of our shrubs in bloom to have a play in the studio using available light and the Nikkor 28-105 using its macro settings. One of the shots from the little session is above, this was taken using ISO 6 and 30" @ F8....I was half expecting a very noisy file despite what I'd been told but was very impressed with the level of detail and the lack of noise using such a long exposure. It will of course need more investigation to see what it can really do but it'll be fun to use it with moving water and anything that you deliberately wish to blur thru movement using a long exposure. Next installment up shortly.
