Yeah well I suppose if we were purely in this to pixel peep we'd be shooting Canikon FF....or I'd have traded my car in for a 645D. Hmmm...the latter is a BIG temptation
Nice mood and lighting - and you get the detail that your boy is in an audience. I like it!!!!
My wife's quite pleased, too. She seems to think that too many of the photos I make of the boy are documentary rather than engaged. But how do you engage a two-and-a-half-year-old for even 1/40s?
As for the camera's ability, I wouldn't have wanted to deal with all of the grain and colour distortion of IS1600 film. There was next to no light, there, the only light coming from a distant stage.
I like this one a lot, noise and all. In fact, all of your offerings have been quite interesting to view.
I'm with you on going for B+W when using 1600 ISO; better than dealing with all the color noise.
