I haven’t posted in here for a while. (Not been out much)
So let’s remedy that now.
I think I pushed my X20 to its limit on Friday night.
I went to a Queen Tribute concert, I was sitting about 50mts from the stage, and the lighting was ok at best and awful the rest of the time.
The vocalist kept moving to the front of the stage where one would have expected a trooper light to be, but no he was walking into total shade.
Some of you may know that I’m not very good on my pins and getting to the front would have been iffy.
My hands are about as good as my legs so quick resets of the little fiddly things on the camera is a bit of a no-no.
Add to that the fact that I’ve not been out much over the winter, so it was all going to be a bit of a challenge.
Well that’s the excuses out the way.
So I set the camera to auto 3200iso and in shutter priority a shutter speed of one 200th of a second, the aperture would take care of itself, (probably wide open).
Zoom was at maximum most of the time.
I upped the shutter speed to a 250th after a while.
At some point, I must have accidentally knocked the control wheel shuffing the shutter speed up to one 800th of a second. (A push up shield like on the old Canon A1 would solve this, (“Are you listening Fuji.”))
I took a few at this speed before noticing and knocking it back to a 250th.
Here are a few from the shoot, I should dump them, they really are very noisy but the camera was on auto 3200iso, this never altered throughout the nigh it stayed at 3200.
Some have been cropped in PSCC they are from jpegs SOOC.
I took RAW and jpegs, but I couldn’t better the camera jpegs.
Is any image better than no image?
You judge.
Thank for looking.
Rhodese.
