The IS works then

Great pitures, looking to get out one evening soon with the tripod (and camera obviously), these's and Steve's from last week are really inspiring me to get out there.

Thanks, it needs a bit more tweaking in Photoshop, It would have been better with a tripod and 100 ISO.

I want to get out soon and get some shots as good as Steves.

Great pics Jazz. Ive only been to Blackpool once but its very colourful at night as you have shown us.
I think this also shows to all thoses people who say IS is usless on moving objects that it can be useful. ok, some of the people are moving too fast to be sharp but you wouldnt have got some of thoses shots with the 24-70f/2.8 IMHO without a tripod and who wants to walk around with one of thoses all night when on holiday?

Jazz Monkey Jr · 16-10-2006, 8:58 AM

I did take my tripod and all the gear but we had a few kids with us and I couldn't be bothered to keep stopping.
They aren't the best pics I could have got, but they are better than the usual snaps and I couldn't have taken them without the IS on the 24-105.
Blackpool is about 20 mins away from me so I could go back and get some better shots but I haven't got the time.

Jazz Monkey Jr · 16-10-2006, 2:52 PM

A few more:

1/60th - f4.5 - ISO 1600

1/30th - f4.5 - ISO 1600

1/25th - f4.5 - ISO 1600 - fill-in flash (second curtain sync)

**senu** · 16-10-2006, 4:11 PM

I was looking foward to seeing them ....and Im not dissapointed

Another great set of niteshots

The handholding, high ISO and IS really work well even with an f4 lens!
:
Im not sure how much noiseware has helped but if I want to nitpick Id say maybe a tripod ( for those shots where it is usable) would have allowed you to use a lower ISO and not need noiseware. .
Did you use USM in PS after applying noiseware?

Very well done

Yes, I dod use the Unsharp Mask after using the Noiseware.
I did take my tripod to get some 100 ISO shots but didn't have the time due to kids running around.
I will post couple without noiseware.
Thanks.

You have posted some.. the first set of RAW tweaked in Rawshoooters and Sharpened in PS...

Kids, Youths and dangerous Lady drivers in Clios seem to come out at night

TBH ..Your pics are very worthy!

The first ones are without Noiseware, I was going to post the last ones without noiseware but they werent much different, pretty impressive for 1600 ISO.
They were my kids and relatives kids running around.

**senu** · 16-10-2006, 7:27 PM

Amazing man,

My kids usually conspire to make me take almost no photographs at all if it doesnt have them in it! , Same with video

petrolhead · 17-10-2006, 10:57 AM

Spooky

I was over there last Saturday with the girlfriend visiting her grandma

Took some great photos also

*Dar* · 17-10-2006, 11:12 AM
