Night Images with the K-1

The biggest thing with the K-1 is the data that is there. I shoot these at 1/200 5.6 and they are almost black, but then I can pull the data out of it and get these. These are a couple from some weddings I did over the summer. This opened up a whole new world of experimenting. Love it

Very nice indeed, I'm sure they were thrilled with the results.

incredible!
How did you achieve that the faces and bodies facing away from the light/flash were still illuminated? Also how did you manage to have the sky filled with blue tones and clouds or is that photoshop ? Especially the first picture is just outstanding!!

Wow, would love to know how to do the first and last shot. Great work.

That was my point about the detail. Even though they were backlit I was able to pull the detail back. There is no photoshopping, just adjusted clarity, exposure, highlights, shadows and black and whites.

The blue haze was a happy accident. Just happened as I lowered the whites out

Love your third shot. Really pushing the envelope nicely with the camera. Great vision, set up, execution. Thatʻs a very lucky couple.

Cool shots indeed! Can't wait to get my hands on the K1.
Can you share the ISO the pics were shot at?
