Eatin’ fire and spittin’ out razors

22Aug09

Just another lazy night in the ol’ home town. Wandered down to Mass. Street last night to catch the second annual Busker’s Festival and grabbed a few shots of the street performers…

These were all shot on my Nikon D700 at ISO 800. Then I ran into Doug, who goaded me into using ISO 6400 for the first time…

Somehow I don’t think it will be the last time I tread in that high-ISO territory. The results were remarkably good. Thanks, Doug — looking forward to seeing some of your shots!

    Great hanging out with you on Friday night Mike. Love to see you testing out the high-end of the ISO dial. Bruce is the patron saint of 2500+ ISO. Maybe he should have his own little statue, right?

    Great stuff you posted. I hope to post some weekend shots very soon.
