Hey Jim,

what combo of aperture and shutter speed did you use for these moop pictures?

[ddaquaria]

Hey Jim,

what combo of aperture and shutter speed did you use for these moop pictures?

Looks like all of them were taken with the following settings:
# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 1/100 second ===> 0.01 second
# Lens F-Number / F-Stop = 56/10 ===> ƒ/5.6
# Exposure Program = shutter priority (4)
# ISO Speed Ratings = 3200
Camera Model = Canon EOS 50D
# Flash = Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode (this was for the shot that I liked the most)
# Focal Length = 135/1 mm ===> 135 mm (this was for the shot that I liked the most)

Hey Jim,

Thai, don't forget ISO - it's a triangle in order to get correct exposure!

# ISO Speed Ratings = 3200

Surprisingly high. I would think at 3200, the image would have more noise.

Surprisingly high. I would think at 3200, the image would have more noise.

I was surprised by that myself. But I do know that his camera as well as yours is suppose to be good about handling noise.

Jim, are those numbers correct on your picture? 135mm at 1/100 ƒ5.6 (zoom lense is my assumption) with that high of an ISO and no flash

I checked this with another program that I prefer more than firefox for reading EXIF

The photo I like the most has the following specs:
Exposure Time: 1/200 sec
F-Number: f/5.0
Exposure Program: Shutter Priority
ISO Speed Rating: 3200
Lens Aperture: f/5.0
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: No Flash, Compulsory
Focal Length: 70.00 mm
Sensor ISO Speed: 320
Metering Mode: Evaluative

Notice the Sensor ISO speed and the ISO speed rating are different.

When I looked up one of my own shots. There was no label for Sensor ISO speed and all the other specs matched my real settings. Right now, I'm making the assumption that it could be a DSLR Canon thing - but I would need to check more pictures.

That's Canon's speciality - high ISO/low noise. That's why all your sports photographers on the sidelines are rocking Canons.
