I have been quiet on the forum for a while, nothing outstanding in the way of pictures from me, the weather has been against us.
However I did venture out on to Stanpit Marsh near Christchurch Dorset, late this afternoon. We had rain all day, but it stopped at about 3.30pm. I knew that decent pictures would be out of the question, but I was keen to try the F30 in poor light.
The setup was Nikon ED82 Scope and 30x wide eyepiece with homemade tube adaptor for the F30 camera, which was set on macro.
Sunset was due at 4.18pm
Picture 1 taken at 3.46pm f4.9 at 1/220sec camera zoom 12mm at 200asa
Picture 2 taken at 3.54pm f4.9 at 1/220sec camera zoom 22mm at 800asa
Picture 3 taken at 3.55pm f5.0 at 1/550sec camera zoom 12mm at 800asa
Picture 4 taken at 4.01pm f5.7 at 1/80 sec camera zoom 24mm at 800asa
Picture 5 taken at 4.07pm f5.7 at 1/210 sec camera zoom 24mm at 1600asa
The zoom on the F30 is 8mm-24mm and does not vignet on any setting with the above scope and eyepiece |8)|
None of the pictures have had any noise reduction applied.
I just had to take picture 3, it was through the scope and the cliffs in the background are just under 10 miles away from where I was standing on the marsh.
So having looked at the pictures I am pretty pleased with the capability of the F30 in low light...............do you agree?
