kinetic Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · First try with street / night photos This was one of my first tries shooting wide open at night on the street. It's scary taking pictures of people, but, I really wanted to capture the people and the interactions on the streets of San Francisco.

I really like your toning. thank you =) I just desaturate to about 70% for all my photos that aren't b&w. I like the hint of color, but without the distraction. I wish I could spend more time learning processing techniques. Processing is such an art in itself. Mar 09, 2010 at 05:23 PM

Etc. I'd love to know because I'm trying to improve my night shooting and your pics are really awesome to me. Hah, the guy just asked the same question right before your post. D700 + 85mm f/1.4 ISO was set on automatic, never dipping below 1/100th of a second. I let ISO fly to Hi.2, with the FX format I'm not afraid of noise at all. I don't use flash, and there is some ambient lighting. I try to use lighting from street lights and store fronts that are coming from behind me. It helps a lot. I always shoot at f/1.6 with the 85mm at night. 1.4 isn't easy to focus with nor forgiving in terms of missed focus. 1.6 is sharp, still gives me fast shutter speeds, and looks decent. I'll shoot at 1.8 sometimes too at night. Without dropping to 1.6 or 1.8 and without awesome high ISO capabilities, it's really hard. I couldn't do this with my other combo of a D80 + 50mm f/1.8 Mar 09, 2010 at 06:34 PM

dasrocket Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · First try with street / night photos Very nice. I like the crispness and tonility. Mar 09, 2010 at 07:16 PM

surly Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · First try with street / night photos Okay. I am in a new town and you have motivated me. These are just great and in spite of what you say your PP is great too. Maybe less is more and you dont need more time in post? Mar 12, 2010 at 06:38 AM

kinetic Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · First try with street / night photos awesome! what new town are you in? photography is the best excuse to go and explore! I learn a lot about the place I live just by photographing the area and the people. Mar 12, 2010 at 07:43 AM

surly Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #14 · First try with street / night photos Sac. Apparently not too far from you. I gotta make a trip out there, never been before. Mar 13, 2010 at 08:35 PM

Clayton G Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · First try with street / night photos Great shots, that d700 plus 85mm is a winning combination. Mar 14, 2010 at 05:40 PM

kinetic Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #16 · First try with street / night photos I can't find very many situations where the d700+85 does me wrong =) forces me to think about my composition rather than immediately snapping to some zoom length I always go for. Also awesome in low light, sharp as heck even at f/1.6: Mar 16, 2010 at 05:30 AM

grani13 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #17 · First try with street / night photos I enjoyed looking at your series - good pictures and I also like the PP style. Number #1 (here in this thread) is the winner for me. cheers grani Mar 16, 2010 at 06:53 AM
