Lowlight shooting doesnt get much more fun.

If you're interested, I've posted the shots that I'm giving to the dance company here


Tools

Canon EOS 5D | 85mm f/1.2

Notes

I have been asked by many how this image is so clean at 1600iso.
Thats a natural reaction but the answer is simple in this case, let me explain:

It's important to understand that noise primarily becomes visible in the shadows. Keeping this in mind I knew I needed to completely underexpose the shadows. This alone eliminated a majority of the noise in the image.

As far as highlights go, I spot metered off the front leg and dialed up my shutter speed to nail that exposre without blowing any highlights.

Conclusion:Correct highlight exposure in combination with under exposed shadows is a golden technique for capturing images like this.

Hope this helps :)

I once had a guinea pig called Total Fucking Destruction. I thought he was hard as fuck until one day; he choked on a very small leaf and died.
