LukeV-2 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks Fruity, problem was with all the people moving around in the "Eiffel" Tower the vibration was quite bad...I did have to de-noise it a bit on iphoto...and then again there is more than enough light in Vegas.. Thats true... Vegas makes me sick... Couldn't they be more original... lock 1
LukeV-2 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Close your eyes Fruity.... Haha.. Thanks for the warning.. What are you doing there anyway?? Making a killing counting cards??? What camera are u using?
DJR Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Thats true... Vegas makes me sick... Couldn't they be more original...Vegas is officially the strangest place I've ever visited in my life, except maybe Verneukpan in the Northern Cape.

Ha ha, no I was in the US for 5 months as an expat and me and wife tried to travel as much as we could, did a two day stint in Vegas while we toured the west coast.. I'm using a Nikon D5100, the pro's will call it a toy but I've been having loads of fun with it..have the 18-55 lens that came with the camera and then a 70-300mm which I bought additional (for wifey to take video/pics of me on the bike/windsurfer..)Vegas is officially the strangest place I've ever visited in my life, except maybe Verneukpan in the Northern Cape. Ja nee kyk Vegas was odd, was good times but won't go back just for Vegas...they gave me and my wife cards with "working" women on with no clothes..even when we walk hand in hand down the strip...was woes and Oh..JDR..one day when I'm big..and have a 4x4..I wanna do that!! looks awesome!

Slowbee Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 guys, on the film SLR, the ISO related to the grain on the film, and hence how much light was needed before exposure. How does this work with the digital SLR's?
geecee Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 It's pretty close to film ISO... the sensor in a DSLR is optimized to give you the best image quality at the lowest ISO (50-100 in most cases). As you bump up the ISO, you push the sensitivity of the sensor up and introduce digital noise in the image
lock Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) guys, on the film SLR, the ISO related to the grain on the film, and hence how much light was needed before exposure. How does this work with the digital SLR's? Good question, ISO refers to the sensitivity of the Film to light..hence the higher the ISO the more sensitive, the less time(exposure) is needed..with DSLR's I guess this refers to the sensor and it's sensitivity towards light...you still loose some sharpness, (more "noise"), when you bump up the ISO on DSLRs too... But from a technical perspective...not sure what causes it in DSLR... Damit, too slow..geecee beat me to it... Edited June 22, 2012 by lock geecee 1

How does this work with the digital SLR's? But its not the same "grain".. That old school grain used to give photo's so much life.. Its not possible to achieve that these days.. Imagine that Hector Pieterson photo in perfect quality.. I dont think it would be the same.... Just a thought..

Imagine that Hector Pieterson photo in perfect quality.. I dont think it would be the same.... Just a thought.. Jup, I agree but you can probably re-create that grain with some editing software... When I was in the US I went into a gallery of Peter Lik, the guy takes the most detailed/sharp pictures..pretty amazing!! One of his photos sold for $1mil..

DJR Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Thought I'd post another picture of a strange place - the Windpomp Museum in Loeriesfontein. It's a weird mix of scrapyard and monument to the machine that made those desolate parts of the world inhabitable. I just liked the composition for some reason. lock 1
marsbeetle Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 I took this picture(HDR) of Kalk Bay a while back... lock, Hennie VR and JC1011 3
