Walking With Dinos!

Apr 09, 2009 17:14

I decided to go and check out Walking With Dinosaurs. I'll be on the lower level in the front row. Hoping to get some good pix with the new digital. Anyone recommend how I should shot in a indoor area in low light? I have two lenses a 18-70mm., and a 75-300mm. I can't wait for tonight. :)

You'll probably want the biggest aperture you can get, which will let in more light, though reduce your depth of field. Also, you'll want to expiriment with higher ISO. The higher that number the less light you need to get a proper exposure. The trade off is that you'll also get more noise (or "film grain" back in the day). Depending on your camera ISO 800 might be usable. On my D80 it's pretty noisy for my taste ( ... )

Thankies! So much I need to learn about using a SLR.

When I shot at a concert I had to stop it down a couple of clicks since the spotlights tend to really overexpose the subject. Since it's digital, I was able to play around quite a bit at first to get the exposure just right. The changing colored spotlights tended to wreak havoc on this method, unfortunately, so you just have to keep adjusting. Good luck!
