probably a noob question Anonymous
u usually use higher iso rates for dark scenes right? problem is, that theres more noise on high-iso pics.

but of course you can use a higher exposure time to have a brighter pic. problem here is that you cannot take a snapshot of moving things and usually u have to use a tripod for good pics.


so can u say that when u want to take a pic in darkness, you can either have more noise (higher iso) or blur (exposure time++)?

$80, and I know you know better, AC.

Speaking of which.
You get your new lens yet ac?

$80 if he's using a Canon DSLR. ~$100 if he's using a Nikon DSLR. $80 or $100 plus the cost of a DSLR if he's using a P&S, which I assume he is.

What do you know I know better?

Nope. Currently focused on dealing with the whole car situation. My position is that the insurance company should give me the fair market value that a car with my car's miles, age, and options would have sold for pre-crash, whereas the insurance company is holding to the belief that they should flick a nickel at my forehead while pissing on my trousers and laughing derisively.

That the 50/1.8 is $80.

... yes, that's what I said.

But that assumes that he's using an SLR that can mount the 50/1.8. Which is assuming that he's using an SLR at all.

Here is what your train of thought should be for taking photos in dark places:

1. Can I get the shot off without blur? here is the rule of thumb: The slowest shutter speed you'll need is 1/focal length. If your focal length is 30mm, then you'll need to shoot at 1/30 seconds or faster to avoid blur. That means 1/20 is too slow and 1/40 is good.

2. If you can't get that shutter speed, increase your ISO or increase your aperturn until you *can* get that shutter speed.

3. If you still can't get that shutter speed, then use a tripod.

Or shoot raw and underexpose a bit if you can.

If you are thinking of spending $80 on a fixed 50mm, you might as well step it up a little and get a 50/1.2 USM.

Er. A lens that costs 17 times as much is stepping it up "a little"?

Well hell, why not go all the way and get a Noctilux and M8 to mount it on?

That's what I've been saying! How can you ever expect to take good pictures without spending thousands?
