AT Shot of the Day Thread

That particular photo was f6.3 -- the ISO was already at 1000.

In the back of my mind, I'm trying to balance ISO to get a fast shutter speed... while stopping down my consumer 55-200 a wee-bit to get it sharper.

Maybe something like f8.0 would have more in focus ... but sacrifice a bit of noise?

I would be at f9 for a shot like that, noise will be in the bokeh in the back which should be able to be reduced.

not the best picture quality (iPhone 4 camera lol), but pretty cool nonetheless. i've seen all sorts of moths before, but never one this crazy looking...its over 3 inches long, and sat on the windows of my work place for several hours the other day:

If aliens from another planet landed on Earth, they would be freaked out by that thing.

 

[007ELmO]

wtf, you have to be an alien to be freaked out?

I took this photo of the statue in the lobby of the resort on my Panasonic LX7.

Finally got my internet up.

Here's a few from Mumford and Sons in Simpsonville taken with an old Panasonic superzoom:

Zoomed in:

 

[CuriousMike]

Yes! Mumford and Sons!
We saw them at the end of May at the Greek Theatre in Berkley.

We sat as far back as you possibly could - it was *packed.*

I only have the 200mm on my Nikon, so these are zoomed in and cropped a bit.

Your shots are great! The show was pretty damn awesome.

Mine were shot with a Panasonic FZ8. I don't think they're too bad considering what I had to work with.

They're not bad at all . I mean lots of video games purposefully throw in film grain/noise, to give it a more cinematic appearance. Just because an image is noisier/softer doesn't mean it's necessarily worse .

Yeah, I'm pretty impressed by it. In super-macro mode, I can get almost half an inch from something ... Noise isn't terrible, either.

I had been feeding her. I guess now it's time to kill her and her babies.

LOL. I would just throw a bug or two into the web if I was in the backyard for some reason.
