Icy images with my F828

HarryF828 · Dec 25, 2003

Today I made some pictures of ice sculptures with my F828 under very difficult light conditions in a very cold (-10C or 14F) environment. I've used iso settings between iso64 and 800 (see the exif information), used flash, slow flash or no flash at all. I couldn't use a tripod so all images have been made out of hand.
For the images see the next link:

I like the result very much (of course a matter of taste) and using the camera with handgloves on was no problem. The camera gives good feedback via the LCD although I had to reduce the LCD brightness to 'dark' to prevent the impression of over-exposed images. I have been using the F828 for nearly one week now and this camera has enabled new creative photo opportunities for me at excellent picture quality.

Those are the first 828 pics that I've seen that didnt look like to cr@p while using ISO settings above 64. Needless to say that your shots look great!

Maybe there still is hope for the 828 after all.

Yes, good images can make quite a difference when it comes to impressions.

Well it seems like we have the same taste

Great job.

Fantastic. How did you hold those 1/5, 1/10, 1/15 second shots? Even with the higher ISO?

Nice capture of the colors too. I bet that was challenging. I knew the 8 was going to be a great camera.

Harry - Thanks, the photos are beautiful and they gave me a good idea of what to expect at higher ISOs. It's also good to hear about how the camera feels in real world conditions (although your world is a lot colder than mine right now!).
Thank you,
j.

Hi Mel,

My experience is that due to the design of the F828 (but also for the F505, F7x7 a.s.o.) the camera is very stable in my hands. But for the longer exposure times I always look for something like a pole or a wall for additional support although I keep the camera in my hands. And then there is also this old photographers trick. Take a breath and then press the shutter.

For the colors I just kept the camera on auto white balance.
