Backyard with high ISO
May 3, 2019 16:00:45 #
As the leaves continue to fill out, my backyard becomes a mass of shadows and fickle lighting. A great way to practice getting what I can while trading ISO for Shutter speed while trying to get the aperture correct to maintain DOF, sharpness, and an exposure that can be worked with in PP. All images are shot Manual with Auto ISO (5000 max), center weighted meter. If you have any suggestions (beyond get better light) on how to try variations of these settings, please let me know.
For those who wonder about the exposure compensation: I used a + E.C. hoping to over expose the details of subjects in shadows....
A good exercise for sure. Here are a few results:

Steve, glad to help, thank you. It looks like the squirrel and blue jay are eager to help as well.
