But does the lens "extension" multiplier work that DX "features"?
great thoughts all these. I have an old Nikon 14 2.8 prime I plan to use.
Agree. I use this camera a lot and for normal shots I can work with iso up to 6400, even 12,800 iso to "get the shot" and find acceptable ways to accept or offset the noise. However I've not photo'd the aurora or night sky so am not familiar with how the smoothing tools will work there plus believe solid saturated blacks and colors will be important. Yet so is speed, relatively, and in this case I'll only have a very short window to learn if the lights show at all...
thanks. good detailed, experienced info...
Going for a hoped view of the Northern Lights in Sweden next week. From reading up on this, never done before, shorter exposures i.e. 5 seconds vs. 15 for example, usually work better than long. Wonder as to thoughts of max iso to use considering noise for Nikon D4s.
There's another q. lead about monopod and low cost too. The best monopod at a reasonable price I've found is from Canon. About $48 at Amazon. In addition, Costco has really quite an excellent price conscious tripod with case; one leg is removable to serve as a monopod -- for only about $95.
Great! My favorite place anywhere, and especially for photography most any time of year! You'd love MacArthur House B&B in Grand Marais to stay. Go up the Gunflint Trail for nature. Mid trail, stop and get the best shakes anywhere. World's Best Donuts and Angry Trout in Grand Marais...Nanabajou lodge is interesting both for food and photos. Could also see if North House has any photo or interesting craft session going...!
