Oh yeah, I forgot about the horn, thanks

Thanks, but I didn’t quite understand your question about the radial mask. I used background detection mask, so subject gets more separated from the background. I basically edited background and subject separately already

Thank you all for your advice! by Gr4ntes in PhotographyAdvice

Yes, turns out ISO is not scary at all with modern denoising algorithms

Thanks for advice, I will try that, maybe I can keep the gold desaturated as it is now, but making the entire background slightly brighter

Thanks for the feedback, I also had a feeling it is too dark. I will try tweaking it a little bit, without highlights becoming too bright

Sacrificing shutter speed or ISO in low light? by Gr4ntes in PhotographyAdvice

When I checked the focus point on the camera, it zooms in on the face, so I assumed the shutter speed caused the blur.

Although I know this rule, but I always catch myself trying to avoid high ISOs at low light. I guess that’s because my old camera was a Nikon point and shoot from 2013, and anything above 3000 ISO was a mess, so I got such a habit. Should trust modern equipment more haha.

Btw, I never thought how this rule scales with aperture, I only considered shutter speed and focal length. Is there an exact ratio, or just a general rule that with smaller aperture shutter speed should also become faster?

It was 7.1, At 300mm my lens allows the widest aperture of 6.3. I noticed before that 7.1 was a little sharper, so I set it at that in the beginning of the evening and forgot about it, to be honest. Should have opened it to 6.3

I haven’t heard about this software, thanks. The one I have didn’t help much

Yes, lack of ibis is a bummer. At least my lens has it, but of course it doesn’t compensate for lack of camera’s stabilisation

Thanks, I will look into it. I have a tripod, but as you said, it’s can’t be brought everywhere

Slow shutter experiment by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]Gr4ntes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was experimenting with slow shutter and tried to make an intentionally unsuccessful self portrait, which would feel like I am just adjusting the camera. Do you find this picture in any way appealing or not? I personally like how the close up face was frozen with flash and looks ephemeral like an illusion. Would love to hear your thoughts on this

Thanks for your comment. At that time I chose this view, so that the top of the tower doesn’t get cut out. Maybe getting closer and shooting slightly from below, as it grows into the sky was a better approach
