MJP Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Sorry, managed to get rid of the PF. Clever shot, MJP, I can learn from this. You need a really fast lens (f/1.2 is ideal if you can find one) and a sensor that can produce images with low noise up to ISO1600, bit of work in post. My f/1.2 is manual focus only and very tricky to focus in low light at f1.2 due to the extremely shallow depth of field. This was a lucky shot.

Dancealot Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 This was a lucky shot. Yes, and I am micky mouse.. Really, I am just a beginner. And what I mean is you must have pre-set some basic settings like exposure/aperture and shuttertime. This would give you a head start in getting that lucky shot. I could be wrong.

And what I mean is you must have pre-set some basic settings like exposure/aperture and shuttertime. This would give you a head start in getting that lucky shot. I could be wrong. For that shot I went out with the camera set to Manual Focus, ISO 1600, Spot Metering and the Aperture set on the lens to f/1.2. That's about it really. You can use Catch-in-Focus on the Pentax but I find this a hinderance. I do have a magnifying eyecup fitted to the viewfinder to aid manual focusing, but it's only x1.2 magnification. Exposure I leave on Av. Then a load of thugs ruined it by setting off flash bang grenades (fireworks) whilst me and the neighbours hid behind the garden hedge. There really are savages up here.

Sorry to hear that. Those flash grenades must have brought a whole different meaning to over-exposure.. Just a quick question. While snapping in AV mode I manually adjust exposure on the spot by using the +/- button within a range from -3 to +3 in steps of 1/3ds. Is this wrong? I admire the Pentax product. But I am not ready for that,yet. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am not ready for that,yet. Thanks, Not wrong at all. It's a quick way of changing the exposure. You can likely change the steps to 1/2 or even 1 EV if that makes it quicker. For low light you can also use TAv where you set the exposure and aperture and the camera decides on the ISO required, i.e., Auto ISO. I like to keep the ISO within a sensible, workable range for the camera (above ISO1600 and noise starts to become a problem), so I set the maximum Auto ISO within a desired range on the K-5 IIs. I'm heading to BKK in search of a K-3. I've decided life is too short and money loses too much value to bother saving much, at least that's my excuse.

I've been working very, very hard at bankrupting myself ever since. 1 year ago I started photography with the Canon S100, I chose this one in particular because it has a dial in the front and at the back which can be pre-programmed to just about any function. I figured if I really want to learn the skill of photograpy I needed to keep manual control over digital... Don't be lazy, so to say. Works for me.. I want to learn more.

We'll I you put it that way......Also with perspective.. ^ ^ For perspective shots I use a Sigma 8-16mm which is great fun, but tricky with lens flare and blown out highlights, difficult to meter. My Pentax 15mm f/4.0 Limited is also pretty good around f/8 with very low flare even shooting straight into the sun. . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
