ISO Assignment...

OK
DanP has set us on task....here is this weeks assignment;
Ok guys so we took last week off. Sorry about that, there is no excuse really. Jim, having read your article on ISO, I thought that this weeks assignment could follow that same theme. So, this week lets shoot with ISO in mind, specifically, high ISO. All entries must be shot in an ISO above 400. Be sure to include the parameters of the shot (ISO, f number, shutter speed, lens etc...) in your entries. For the sake of learning (at least on my part) lets not do any noise reduction in post...Should be an easy one for you pros but for me it should be very enlightening...

Can't wait to see the results...
Happy shooting!

I hope to add a forum to my blog so anyone can participate in the assignments. Until then you can follow the blog and insure that your time is spent improving on your photography through the weekly assignments.
Here is a couple of articles to help; (I stand by my comments yesterday that sharpness can be obtained at any ISO, only grain changes(noise for digital).

Bad hare day....

Today I crossed with a hare!

On the road again.  This time in Arizona.  The travels included Prescott Valley, Payson, and Show Low.  A bit of time behind the wheel.  When driving with my wife I am accused of watching the road very little.   Hey I am a photographer!  When I'm not concentrating in the office about saving money, new construction methods, why some Sweettarts melts so fast in your mouth and evaluating contractors - I'm driving.  Looking for something to record on pixels.    It happened again today.  At sixty-five miles an hour I spotted the little guy.  Couldn't be missed.  In fact I almost didn't miss.  After dodging the hare, I stopped and enjoyed a few minutes visiting with him.  He didn't have a lot to say.  Just a lot of sniffling.  Must have a cold.  Looking through the lens I was amazed at the hare's hair.  Talk about hip, cool and BAD (cool bad).  Looks like he has the same stylist as Penny.  Not sure If I will ever see another like this one again.

If you want to see the best shot of Bald Eagles ever look here.    The photo was taken near my home.  Yes the same place I have been shooting.  Not at a neighbors house but rather at the Bird Refuge.  The shot is one we all dream off shooting.  Someday.  Sure inspired me.  I hope it does the same for you.
