Changai Preview - Tom Shen version

tomshen · 8th February 2003

Sigh, this was the first time I hate D60's low light focusing. Half of my pix were taken from foot level, 70% shots taken without seeing through view finder. I know, I konw, digital lar

Road was cleared

Security was on

Photographers were in place

The show was on...

sob sob... I was standing across from digipix and the rest... I tried to shoot but while I can pre-empt AF and stuff like that I cannot help having a weak onboard flash and/or a slow shutter speed.
sigh..

SniperD · 8th February 2003

Brilliant pics!Especially the first few

Newbie question: How do i take moving subjects in low light conditions?
Wouldnt a long shutter speed blur the subjects?

Do i have to use a diffused flash or just higher speed film?

SniperD · 8th February 2003

either a flash combined with high speed film,

if not, a big aperture and med speed shutter. Will still get a little motion blur BUT that's the spirit of it... (IMHO)

Tomorrow I want to take motion in action... swirling colours, shimmerings of costumes....
heehee.... tonight planning shots liao after seeing the photos from the people who went down today

But for the pics like when the performers are walking past. There is no motion blur at all yet there is still sufficient light to light up the pic
Doesnt look like a flash was used leh.
I'm damn blur on this
Must take more pics already
Also, canon G3 will generate significantly more noise at higher speed levels rite

Wai · 8th February 2003

i like this one too...

btw, it is Chingay and not Chingai rite?

that ... my friend, you got to ask our originator, Tomshen. heehee... i also dunno but a guess would be he used available light and open the aperture widest? (but that will create shallower DOF)

*thinks... thinks.... thinks*

nice shots tom, where were u located to get those shots? I made a mistake of cramming with the crowd today around peninsula.. later walked further down, found it less crowded.
