I'd like to see low light K7 high ISO raw images.
Thanks. Does anyone here use Aperture?

Here you go:




1/8sec, f2.8, ISO 6400 - about the worst possible lighting conditions! Shot in almost complete darkness, with the only lighting from the LEDs of my car's centre console.

I'd happily upload a DNG of the file, but I'm not sure where to put it - any help would be appreciated.

I have tons of them .... just have to find them.
Back here soon.

I just love the light in that pic. Grainy? Somewhat so but just the right kind of "grain" to make it a good pic!

Thanks. It was a quick snap with my shiny new 35/2.8

Full size JPG here (directly converted from DNG in Lightroom 3.3, with default process settings).

Great!

There is a little "something" in that high ISO pic, the fine grain that is, which almost makes it look like a film based image.
I've found that interesting with my own pics taken with the K7.

There are times when such images are best left alone.

Nice shot! How did you brace for that shot?

I think the major contributor was the fact that I was sitting back in the car's seat, elbows held against my torso. I often pull off 1/8sec shots with my 15 LTD, but at the moment 1/15sec seems to be the lower threshold for success on my 35 LTD.

Very nice indeed. I have never shot raw with my K7. I think I'm going to start. I have Aperture 3 to convert. I am really starting to like my K7.

Try doing that with film.

Try doing that with film.

The versatility of a digital sensor... I also shoot with a pair of Olympus Trip 35s and 400 ASA/100 ASA films - and while they're wonderfully simple (zone focusing, very basic aperture control, two shutter speeds) it's nowhere near as easy and my keeper rate is far lower.

[JHD]

Actually it could be done with ASA 100 film and 6 more stops of time (8 seconds) at the same apeture on a tripod.

Anything here is processed to be viewable, unless Adam has worked some extra magic.

Oh, absolutely, but that would require a tripod inside my car which would be an interesting experience to say the least.

You don't need a tripod - just cut down on the coffee !
