Getting the best pictures in low light
-
SO still getting the hang of my D90, I would like to be able to get good pictures in low light, i bought a 35mm f1.8 Nikon lens, hopefully this will help. but sometimes when trying to capture a moving object in low light eg my nephew or sister’s dogs the blur too easily. would i be better off getting a Nikon sb600 or similar, or is there any recommended settings for low light, i am only shooting in P mode at the moment, and i hate the washed out affect the built in flash gives. Does anyone know of any good books or guides i can get my hands on to improve my pictures in this area.
whats the highest ISO you can go before you start to get noticeable noise in the picture, currently on ISO 200 i think
Not sure with Nikon but 600 to 800 should be fine, I great book which is
recommended a lot on this site is “Understanding Exposure” an easy to
read and understand no nonsense book…….when I read it the penny
dropped :)Agree with Jenny recommend that book…also should be ok with the ISO at 800

I wouldn’t be adverse to banging the iso up as far as 3200. What matters more, not getting the shot, or getting a noisey shot?
Also depends on what sort of format print you want to produce from the end result. Sometimes I find shots that I have gotten at high iso look a whole lot better once on a physical medium.
