Remember this guy and how average his work was?

Someone explain this to me...

This guy has a Digital Rebel, and his shot timings are like 1/1000 of a second at f5.3, yet he sets his ISO to 200 and 400.

If you have a great deal of light, why would you set your ISO speed higher, and get unnecessary grain?

-PD
 
Umm, first of all as far as i know he shoots with a 10D and has an MK II on order.

Secondly, he has been published in a magazine and as far as i know you have not, obviously he knows more then us.

Lastly, it's rather obvious that his priority in his shots that you speak of are not grain rather he is after a shutter speed of 1/1000.

Furthermore, if pictures are exposed correctly grain/noise is not an issue until ISO 800 generally on the 300D.

The rebel is essentially grainless at ISO200. At 400 the images are still very useable. Also you can't really compare the "grain" from a DSLR to a consumer camera. DSLR grain is much more pleasing to the eyes.

If he shot at 1/1000 f5.3 and ISO400, then ISO400 was WHY he was able to shoot at 1/1000. If he used say, ISO100 instead, he would have only been able to shoot at 1/250, which may not have been fast enough to freeze the motion.

Not sure if there's sarcasm there or not...

Anyway his pictures are all-right... he has obvious technical skills. Probably on par with many other pro-photographers... but most of his photos simply don't excite me. Have to examine them closer later sometime to see if I can catch what people like about them.

well, how exciting can taking pictures of cars get? I thought the effects with the gasoline mirages were pretty tight.

Bokeh! Those pictures he took are amazing. Its being in the right place at the right time. Photojournalism (sports, political, etc) its about timing, and oppertunity.

If you have those two skills you will get far. Good job for him!

Cheers,

I can see that some of the memebers on these forums aren't all neive.
 
Those are some nice pictures there.

For any of you who *haven't* tried taking pictures of cars while they are racing....sometimes it is very difficult. Those are pretty clear. Congrats to the guy for being published. Nice camera, too :D
