The moon hovering above the side wall of a danish supermarket. Noticed the scene while I was filling up the bike.

When I googled my camera as I was looking to buy it (I'm on a budget),
I saw a you tube video about 'six megapixel club' and found it here.

it's lovely to see so many beautiful photographs and who knows. Our cameras may be modern classics.

Thanks. and , They are classics in way, yes.

something just right , about them.

Reflections, in the bauble and in the significance it has to our family.

Hi Porffor, cool picture though I was baffled that you took it at iso 3200. Viewed it on flickr in large size and tried to guess what iso you'd used in that dim light, then had a look at the specs. Must say my copy of the K100D maybe looks noisier at iso 800. An explanation could be that you shot jpeg and the camera took care of high iso noise. If you don't mind - did you?
Now this is not a festive comment yet at all, so have a nice time before christmas you and your family and enjoy the new lens.

Indeed! I didn't know the K100D could go that high - my *ist D maxes out at iso1600, and it's *ugly*

Your photo is surprisingly clean. Next time, you might try shooting wide open, or f/2-ish, which will bump up your shutter speed, and lower your iso.

I'm still learning with my K100D being my first ever DSLR, so learning the levels in raw, and honestly, I forgot I was on a high ISO From playing around with it on something yesterday.

When I read back my settings on Flickr (super handy recording them), I was a bit 'oops'. I adjusted it down to 400 which is what I'd been using outdoors to picture plants.

I am shooting in raw, and didn't edit at all, just cropped out a few bits of wire visible.

I guess the DA 50mm must have bailed me out of trouble? I've a lot to learn.

Thanks, have explained above, big old mistake on a newbie part.

Defo need to check what I left it on before. Silly me.

I'll have a play around at lower F and shutter speed. I still stumble into super slow shutter from time to time.. and get impatient at my silly mistake. I do look forward to having a tripod to try some slow shutter speed photos, in time.

Hi Paul, all the while I didn't know the *ist D is limited to iso 1600, always thought it's the same as the K100D
