+1 Yup, isn't that what all the buttons and twiddly knobs are for? Something to play with when you start to dry up on a shoot and can't for the life of you figure out the 56th way to lean up against a tree?!

f4.8 for me... although my last outdoor shoot seems to have been around the 7-1 to 9 range.


f4.8 seems a curious number to be favourite .


tough crowd in here tonight too emoticon

I like cakes :-)

i really wish that too. so much abuse for what i thought would be such an innocuous little question.
for the record, to all you people who take yourselves waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously, no, it wasn't a serious question. it was a bit of fun.
seemingly it's ok to ask, 'who has the best breasts/bum/stomach on purestorm' but woe betide anyone who tries to fool around with the sanctity of photographic technicalities...

somebody a few posts back suggested a 'top 10 ISOs' thread. ok, for the record, mine is ISO 200. Gives an extra stop compared to ISO 100, with no real loss of image quality. win, win. emoticon (other ISOs are available)

I treated it as a serious question because I happen to like discussing technical stuff somettimes, even when the context seems to make it look like there can't be a serious answer. This is how I am, and it makes me feel good. ::shrug::

Thanks Snowdog:)  I think I understand what you mean now, after looking back through the thread, and find myself agreeing.

That's only part of the equation. You also have to have a shutter speed of at least 13.5 billion years if you want to get the whole of spacetime (and not just space).
