Now that the wedding season is winding down, I look for any opportunity to shoot for fun. It’s even better when you get to shoot a fun happy couple. This past Friday I was invited by Matt to shoot one of his couples, for their engagement session. We headed down to a small beach in Laguna for their session. I really wanted to take more risks this shoot and shoot as wide open as I can and at ISO’s I couldn’t shoot normally. The whole idea is to really push the limits of the camera and myself at the same time. Thanks again Matt for inviting me out.
It’s all fun and games until you take a tumble head first to the sand.
This is where I wanted to see the difference. We completely lost the light at this point. There was a faint sunset light remaining. Here are the specs on these shots.
(left) 50mm, F/1.4, ISO 1600, 1/40 (right) 50mm, F/1.4, ISO 3200, 1/50
You be the judge on how much more grain there is.
I tried a semi-long exposure shot. This was shot at 28mm, F/4, ISO 400, 4 second shutter. I placed the camera on a brick wall and did a timer shot. Again it was pretty much dark at this point.
