Night Midnight Swim

Midnight Swim · 09:46 AM

We dropped by the park on out way our of town last night and caught a few swans hanging around the fountain, thought it was interesting they'd be swimming around so late, and so I took a few snaps.
Conditions wouldn't have been worst considering the lack of front lighting, though I think the 50/1.4 did a good job with the rear highlights and the fountain.

K20D, ISO6400, 1/20s, f/1.8

The end

Wow- this should go in the high iso thread! Doesn't even look like a 6400 shot!

Thanks Adam!

I dropped one there also.

The image was PP through ACR6 and Denoise in aprox. 5 mins.

Wow! Epic bokeh.

Wonderful job, John - I don't know how you do this with ISO 6400 - so the technical stuff is impressive. However, I really like the composition and feel of the shot.
