Frustrations galore

Hmmm...Sounds like a smooth technique to meet white-bloused women, too. "S'cuse me, I'm not being fresh. I'm a working photographer and I just need to bounce some photons off your...blouse. Say, have you ever had your portrait done?

Andrew,

Have you tried the higher ISO ratings some of us encouraged you to try. In a dark church, even with flash, crank up that ISO to increase your depth of field and to have your flash recycle faster too.

Last night I covered a piano concert (of course no flash allowed), the stage lighting was so dim I had to shoot every frame at 1000 to 16000 ISO, the work looks far superior to anything I could have done in my film days.

Even though the client wants .jpg – I shot in RAW+jpg. The converted RAW files have less noise and truer colors than the .jpg files with manual white balance. I understand why you said you are concerned about trying a higher ISO but try it, you’ll like it.

Steve
