Pears
We have gale force winds blowing outside at the moment and it's very dark so I decided to experiment more with changing my ISO and using natural light. I put these pears in front of the window and set my ISO on 5000, I did try photographing them on my highest ISO which is a whopping 6400 but that set the histogram off too much so I dropped it down to 5000. With a high ISO comes a lot of background 'noise' or grain, but in black and white I like it as it gives that sort of 60's film effect.

Ooooooh !! I love this . The pear looks like it is made of wood, it has a sort of " stiffness" to it and yet the wood and the grain in the table appears soft.......... and no I have'nt been smoking anything or drinking the dregs of the shiraz, thats just how it looks to me. Thanks for the technical data too, now I can go off and try it too. Cheers
ReplyDeleteYay for experimenting with ISO. Looks great, and I agree I think the higher ISO "adds" something to black and whites.
ReplyDeletegorgeous. Love the texture the lighting brought out.

ReplyDeleteThere is a saying in my Country "beauty is in the eyes of those who see it" and I must say that your beautiful black&whites are proof of that!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photo again. Really windy and wet here too so I think I'll be experimenting using your very kind tip.
ReplyDeleteVery nice shot! There is a terrific product from Topaz Labs - Topaz Denoise, that works wonders on getting the noise out of photos. But you are absolutely right - it works great in this photo!
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your ISO capability.
ReplyDeletei love what you did with it...
ReplyDeletei think it's perfect.
That is an *amazing* ISO, Justine! And I would never have guessed it was anything other than the bright sunny day :) I do love that background 'noise', another beautiful b&w to add to your growing (stunning) collection!
ReplyDeleteReally like this shot Justine. For that high an ISO, I would really expect to see a lot of noise, but i really do not here. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI like the noise in the background - adds texture
ReplyDeleteWonderful Justine, I appreciate your explanation too.
ReplyDeleteI really like the effect you've created..and thanks for explaining how you did it! beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the effect of the high ISO, very well done! Beautiful image.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful shot. In my class this week it is all about ISO settings. I can't wait to see what my instructor says about it. But I think the best thing to do is just play around with it like you have..
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by my blog today with your lovely comment.
ReplyDeleteYour passion for photography is clear, wonderful.
BTW My husband is asking for biscuits like yours above!
your photos are stunning! these pears are just lovely! sounds like a good day to stay inside and shoot.
ReplyDeleteWonderful composition and texture - my ISO doesn't go higher than 1600!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful B&W composition. Well done.
ReplyDeleteSo simple, so elegant...so tasty!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Justine-
ReplyDeleteLove this. Love too that you share your settings. I never use flash and always shoot in natural light and am trying to ADD flash in to my shots.
As always-I love your compositions. The fact that I can pick out your style I feel is a compliment to your photography voice. Very nice.
