focal length: 70 mm
shutter speed: 1/25
aperture: f/5

flash: none

I shot this in a room with low light so I had to use a high ISO because I wanted to use a smaller aperture at f/5 and because it was a hand-held shot I couldn’t go slower than 1/25 for shutter speed. Considering how high the ISO is, I don’t see much noise in this image. The Nikon D300 performs much better with respect to noise levels at high ISO’s compared to older models such as my Nikon D50. Yipee!

How did I hold the camera AND my glasses to take this shot? Don’t ask. Haha.
