low light crispness

liza wallis · Sep 3, 2001

I didn't have a tripod with me, but the scenery was too beautiful to miss so I shot away. What I was impressed with was the absolute crispness of these lowlight images. The artifacts you see are only a result of resizing for the web. There are no such artifacts on the originals and most printed up sensationally. The lack of a tripod is most visible in the night shot of the moon overlooking the boats, and of course, the bridge mistake photo.

Every day I grow more impressed with what this camera can do.

Anyway, I'll start you out with this shot of the manhattan skyline (taken from about 25 miles away). True the skyline isn't sharp, but I liked it anyway. The lack of a tripod is most visible in the night shot of the moon overlooking the boats

Nice pics, I particularly like the kitchshore one.

Did you use the photoshop 'trick' to remove hot pixels from the night shots, as they look good as well ?

Very nice pics all of them. I'm jealous I dont heve your eye.

Nice, Liza. I wish I have a steady hand like yours. I went to Coronado (North Island ) yesterday to take pictures of downtown San Diego (across the bay). I am still learning how to take pictures manually and learning a lot from this forum. - Tisya

I love the shots liza. Shots at sunset or rise have more interest and color which the 6900 can capture beautifully. Some of my examples including a night pic.

Thank you for looking at the page... What surprised me is that only one of the shots had hot pixels and colored pixels... I removed those partly with the photoshop trick, and partly by hand. None of the others had any weird pixels... that's why I posted these... I was so amazed at the clarity of the low light image even at long shutter speeds. I was also VERY impressed by the clarity of the color transitions in the sky.

stream... I have seen your photos from Australia and I would say that you do have my eye... you've got some nice looking shots there (although it is true that I didn't look at all of them -- what I saw was quite nice).

HAHAHA... I have the least steady hand you can imagine! I used railings and fences and tables and peoples heads and anything else I could drum up as a makeshift tripod! The scenery just captivated me so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to shoot it.

There is something wonderful about the low light of sunrises and sunsets... it makes everything seem somewhat magical. I loved the bridgemistake too... Couldn't pass up on opportunity to post a primer on "what you too can manage without a tripod"

Curtis... when I try to access your night shots I get a "you have reached a restricted area" message... can you post the link again? Yes, I am very impressed by the richness of fujicolor

Oh thx for taking the time and effort to go to my site. and thx for the compliment. The pics are all the pics I took on my holiday in Australia good and bad. So not so interesting to watch them all except if you were on the trip of course. But I love checking them out from time to time.

Thank you Ema and AJaye for looking into my photos and for the compliments. I am just having so much fun taking all these photos. And my new super lightweight tripod arrived today so I look forward to crisper photos in the future.

I used to work for the NYS Thruway Authority. They had a special bridge crew that exclusively maintained the Tappen Zee Bridge in New York City.
Nice to finally see a pic of it!

Well, they are doing a Great job because that bridge just looked beautiful to me (I have a soft spot for bridges anyway). Glad to see someone recognized the bridge.
