have a similar fascination with fog. Shot these in monochrome and used the fog as a backdrop rather than the focal point.

might want to set ISO to its fastest point and work backwards. I have a 7d and take sport pictures at 6400 with camera set on AV setting with F2.8 setting. remember that there is no such thing as white lighting in gym. It is either fluorescent bulb or tungsten bulb. If your camera has an automatic white balance setting, use it. lighting changes in gyms changes every few feet and you have to find a sweet spot to take pictures from in every gym.


On the 5D markIII WB 2 of the settings are White fluorescent lighting, and or tungsten. Ie reference white lighting .

so I rarely shoot above 800 ISO and that is only ocasionally, so my question is what is the advantage of higher ISO's. The few times I have used them the results were not so good, being super grainy was the major issue?
Any suggestions or insight would be great, thanks.... :)


It's interesting to me because I think it's a marketing thing. It's like asking why so many pixels stuffed on to a sensor - advantage? Very little. Above 10 or 12mp there's very little noticeable change in overall quality unless you plan to enlarge to the size of a VW microbus.

You're correct about "noise" it's called, those annoying tiny specs that show up at higher ISO settings. The same was true with overly sensitive film - grain they called in in film, noise in digital photos.

Marketing, that's all

<<The biggest problem with the GOP is all the lies>>

The republicans have to lie and deceive to win elections. If they told the truth about thier policial agenda they would never win anything.


Was there ever a bigger Liar in the History of the Presidency than Bill Clinton. Lied to his Cabinet, his family, a grand jury while under oath. Lying is not limited to one party. All politicians lie. Obama, while campaigning, " I will cut the deficit in half my first term, or I will not run for a second term.
Lie! They can't help themselves.

I am so confussed why a person has a I pod or smart phone & takes a perfect picture in the worse conditions.

I've been trying to shoot with my Nikon D90 with a 18-135mm lens in the dark of city lights, christmas light, monuments and fast moving things in very low lights and I get terrible blurry pictures. Ive tried Mono pod, high ISO, and fast shutter speeds, even flash. Nothing works how can I get the right combinations. I'm going blind here.;)

Al Gore is once again pushing his Cap and Trade carbon tax agenda. I wonder why? Could it be that he really cares about the earth even though the global warming people Fudged the numbers? Or, could it be that he is a founding member of the Chicago Carbon Exchange and would make millions if it starts trading in carbon? Oh, you’ll never guess who one of the attorneys was that set it up. Your president!


I am terribly puzzled.
Cap and Trade is based on monetary reward; a very capitalistic premise.

So, why is it opposed by repubs?
And did not repubs originally propose it in the Reagan Administration and actually put in place by GW Bush?

Why is it poison now?
quote=jimbo70 Al Gore is once again pushing his C... (show quote)

Like all think tank programs, they evolve exponentially, once they can be maneuvered and schemed into money for the likes of Al Gore. Basically Cap & Trade will allow the EPA to fine polluters. The main polluters will be your neighborhood Utility. Since the government,has, within a few percentage points, maxed out its ability to take any more of our income without a riot. They will fine the Power Companies, depending on their Carbon profile, could be a Billion dollars or more. They will pay the fine to the Federal Government & then cover the fine in your monthly bill. Most estimates , it will double your rate. So the Government will collect Billions, you & I will pay. They just won't have to call it a tax. As far as the Chicago Carbon exchange, that person is correct. After being fined & paying. The Utility will also have to buy Carbon Credits from the exchange. The credits consist of parcels of forest, purchased by Investors, nothing more than trees. Each tree represents a Carbon Credit, The Power Company buys, the owners of these trees profit & you & I pay through the nose, for nothing. Nothing changes. The Power Companies continue to pollute, but because they buy these credits and pay the fines, they continue to operate as usual. Its just you & I who actually will pay if Cap & Trade is passed. Just like Health Care its just another form of taxation.
