My wife and I walked down to a local inn for brunch this morning and I slung the a900 over my shoulder for some late ( read: all the leaves are on the ground now :[ ) autumn shots as it was a lovely morning, with temps in the low fifties. Anywho the inn we go to leaves the lights off in their little dining area during the day light hours when it is sunny and the room is somewhat dark as a result. The only light comes from the sunlight through the lace curtains on the windows. So I decided to play around with the a900 at higher ISO values both in RAW and using the camera\'s jpg engine. I processed the RAW shots with Raw Developer but I am a total noob with this program and need to spend some more time with it, so I\'m not sure the photographs are the best that they can be.
IS0 1600, Fine jpg, NR set to low in camera. Lens used was the 50 f1.4 at f4:
And here is the same ISO 1600 shot, but processed via Raw Developer. I mainly focused on noise processing here, as this was what I was interested in, so there isn\'t any of the other pp I would do for a portrait. The only other adjustments I made were to crop and I added a positive exposure adjustment of 0.5 as I deliberately underexposed the 1600 shot as part of my own curiosity as to what that would do to the file after I applied exposure compensation in post.
These are linked from my Flickr account as opposed to Smugmug, and you can also see the images at 100% by clicking on the original file size. I mention this because I\'m not sure Flickr doesn\'t apply a little sharpening of their own?
After a run through noiseware plugin in PS:
Lastly, here is a camera fine jpg at ISO 200 and f2.8:
