one hour...?! I can't promise anything...it's 24:10 here, in Barcelona, and I'm supposed to be working tomorrow! But I will try (although it's a great shot, so you don't really need my help to be saved, if people have good taste!) :)

i don't see a lot to separate it from your standard touristy type snapshot. i guess it is in focus, at least

liber says:

You go try to make this shot, keep the fire in the right composition, keep the exposure right and than tell me it's easy.
Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )

/seth/ says:

i haven't said it was easy, just what effect it has for me. i think it's a fine shot and would fit well in a newspaper article about the restaurant, etc. but as a piece of photography per se, i think it could be better.

Rod the Rabid Rodent says:

Why see it large? So I could see the softness on the chef's face?

Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )

liber says:

When you are shooting in the dark you have to use a small f-stop, and the focus here is the fire, right?

oh, how I like smart commenters who know jack...
Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )

liber says:

@see more glass: indeed, it could always be better, but definitely it isn't a snapshot, IMHO.
Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )

Rod the Rabid Rodent says:

It's your challenge to line it up so that the chef's face and the fireball are equidistance from your lens...or you could have just not ask others to view it large.

And it's called wide aperature, I don't know anyone who calls F1.8 a "small aperature."
Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )

liber says:

So you do know a thing or two. now tell me to get into the kitchen to make the shot :-)

regd the small aperture, I apologize, it comes as a direct translation from portuguese, in english you would say a small f-stop most likely...

Automatt says:

I think it's lovely fire, and it's a much better shot than most of the stuff that comes through here, but you seem to have cut off the arm of dong.

Rod the Rabid Rodent says:

@ Liber: I would buy a D3 and set it on continuous shooting :-)

Also, you shot at ISO100, I assume with your expensive Canon, you could have gotten away with shooting this at ISO 800 or ISO1600, that would give you an extra 3 to 4 stops worth of DoF for a sharp face.

It's not a bad shot, but it would be better if the ambient light was stronger and the rest of the room better exposed.
Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )

liber says:

It was on continuous shooting. I tried different settings and shot 228 :-)

The ambient light was awful (fluorescent), so the higher iso shots looked like shite. (try color balancing a mixture of fluorescent light and fire light, weeew.

With the canon I can get away with iso 6400 :-) Done a few decent shots at 25600 (iso 6400 underexposed by two stops), woith a little help from noiseninja, ofcourse.
