How Does The K-3 Image Looked If Shot At ISO 51200

Dear friends.........

Just a quick post of the Pentax K-3 image at ISO 51200 and not even the right. And don't forget, this is a completely dark area. With the camera settings at ISO 51200, the Exposure is still way low.

Below is the original image from the K-3 JPEG.

Settings for the above image are:

Pentax K-3 Firmware v1.0

Tamron 17-50 f2.8 @ 43mm

Aperture at f2.8 (Not the sharpest I admit. Should be at f4. My bad)

Shutter Speed at 1/30 sec

ISO 51200

Setting at Natural with sharpness at Extra Fine

In camera NR Off

SR on

Below is the approx 100% crop

Not sure is it whether the focusing screwed up at this pitch dark enviroment or the noise are just too massive. Would be sharper at f4 I recon.

Done a bit of brightness on the JPEG with Post Process

You wont want to make prints larger than 4R with this image do you?

And a 100% crop

Yuks......... Now it gets even worst. What if I use the RAW files and see what Adobe Camera Raw can do? I know is not hte best for this kind of recovery.

RAW After NR

Approx 100% Crop

So the conclusion is, although its almost unprintable at this high ISO especially in extremely crappy lighting or none at all, it still captures the image with decent details. Like I say, could have been sharper at f4 but on the other hand darker. So is a trade off. At least I still can see the cat figure rather than just a piece of junk when zoomed in.

Cheers and take a break............

Just A Thought, by Brandon Chong

A lot of people has always been asking,

"Is It Really Necessary For Pre Wedding Photo Shooting".

The simple answer is, IT DEPENDS.

If you have the budget, by all means, get the best Pre Wedding package out there. But it would not be wise to spend on expensive pre wedding photo shooting and later end up in debts and starts to quarrel due to finance problems. It's not worth it.

In my personal opinion, I think you need to set a priority on where to spent on your wedding. Pre Wedding Photo is one of the less important, in my opinion. But that is just me. Always remember that a "million dollar wedding" will not guarantee you a happy and long marriage. Discuss among both husband and wife. You cannot gauge love with numbers. Doesn't mean he love you less if he spent less on the wedding. Try to think this way, if a person only has 15,000 dollar saving and spent 30,000 dollar on the wedding is greater or a person who has 5 Million dollar in their savings and spent 1 Million for the wedding is greater.

For me, in terms of spending in photography, I would put the actual wedding day first. Then the ROM. Lastly will be the pre wedding. Do remember this, Pre Weddings are a custom whereby you are able to re-create or fake the moment and environment anytime. Unlike ROM (Register Of Marriage) and Actual Wedding days, the smiles and joys, not to forget the tears, are REAL.

Just an idea on what our studio is doing. You might also consider combining your pre wedding with the ROM (Register Of Marriage) ceremony. By doing this, the Photo Album will look even better with real meaningful moments. Save cost and time. Families can join in as well. Is just an idea.

But at the end of the day, it all depends. It is necessary if you think it is. And it is not if you think is not. Your finance also plays the biggest roll here.

Cheers and always remember to enjoy the presents, because there is always the future to worry about.

Take a break.......
