Chuck, even though this is an older thread, a couple of more questions on your night shots at this fair.


Did you hand hold these? Monopod? Tripod?


Was it "pitch black" night, or dusk, on some of the shots?


If you did use a tripod, was that a problem with all the people walking around the area?


Thanks!

Thanks for the inquiry Alan. Sorry for the delayed response.


These were all handheld. Notice the shutter speeds.


It was night. You can see the black sky in the first two. The last one has the side of a building in the background.


#1 @ 7:32 PM 35 minutes after sunset (6:57PM). (That is the sky behind the scene)


#2 @ 7:39 PM(That is the sky behind the scene)


#3 @ 7:40 PM


It's quitea testimony to the light gathering capabilities of the 5D with the EF-50 1.4 @ f/2.8.


For comparison, this one was taken at 7:17 PM.

Thanks, Chuck. I did notice the shutter speeds, but I wanted to confirm the handheld.


That makes it easier when milling around a bunch of people, too.


With my 50 f/1.4 and 5DMk2, I'm gonna have fun when the fair rolls around next year. []
