Midway Party 12/20/08
Some night photos from around the Midway last night:



This 30 second exposure at ISO 1600 converts to an 8 minute at ISO 100 exposure, which is how I would have normally shot it. This was just a quick test to check focus and exposure, it was too dark to actually see the tree in front of me at all. I've always shot all my night photo work at ISO 100 for the lowest noise possible. The camera's on a tripod, so what does it matter how long the exposure is? It turns out, a bit of noise reduction and a long exposure shot at ISO 1600 doesn't look bad at all. Especially when you're pressed for time and have to be at a party in 10 minutes, making an 8 minute shot out of the question.
The Midway itself was very nice, although the planes look much smaller up close...

...just kidding.
