For the fellow photographers out there, I got a new lens recently and gave it a little trial tonight amidst the fading light.

Learned a lot, have a few things in mind to try on the next session to see if I can improve on the sharpness and quality!

Just thought I'd share a few from the session!

Sharp Images!

What ISO setting are you using? Is it in auto mode or are you choosing your own ISO?

[BowhunterNJ]

Shooting in manual, so choosing everything.

These are 1600 ISO, no real visible noise until you start cropping in on the full resolution image.

Definitely will be shooting lower ISO in better light conditions.

These were also shot freehand in pretty non-ideal (breezy) conditions, so that's why I bumped the ISO to get faster shutter speeds.

great photos

[GunDogs]

that's pretty amazing with such a high ISO setting... can't wait to see some close up fluke pics with that lens!

as GunDogs said.....excellent with a setting of 1600....was always gonna buy a macro lens.....specifically for this type of image....garden spider close-ups.....that sort of thing.....beautiful work

I don't normally bring this camera out on the ocean...fishing on the ocean tends not to be all that "gentle" haha

Yeah this camera body is tremendous at high ISO...3200 even looks good, but you do start to notice a little grain there.

I've always wanted a macro lens as well, just all around fun to play with...and you never have to go very far to get interesting photos...heck all of those were shot within 15 feet of my front door!
