One thing I’m loving about some of the new technology for cameras and lenses is the capability to work – casually – in extreme conditions which would have meant hours of work in pre-digital days. (Not that I minded the hours of work; sometimes I even miss them…)
Some of these things, however…
This is a shot which I would not have even TRIED to get, ten years ago. 1/6th second at 3200, handheld? Only in my dreams.
Now, it’s a throwaway, an “oh, nice lighting on those” view that I grabbed almost casually while chatting with a couple of musicians I know.
In some ways, it really IS progress.
Lock and load; let’s get back to work.
