  • Attempting night photography for the first time

    I spent a few hours last night at Seton Castle outside of Santa Fe to shoot the place at night. Shooting at night was harder than I expected but also more fun than I thought it would be; I’ll definitely be going back to this location and doing more night photography.

    A test shot: ISO 6400, 1 second, f8.0
    ISO 100, 2 mins 15 sec, f8
    ISO 100, 3 mins, f5.6
  • Testing out the Fuji X100 point and shoot

    Yesterday, I received an X100 from LensRentals.com. The X100 has a fixed 35mm f/2.0 lens, goes up to ISO 12800, shoots RAW, and comes in rangefinder format. I ordered it to put it through the paces and see how well the image quality holds up in low light situations. These are some quick shots I took after dinner. ISO 3200 and 6400 look like ISO 800 and 1600 on my Canon S90 point and shoot. More to come later.
