#1 & 2 being the most important. - joe1121, on 02/13/2009, -0/+7is that dumbledore in #9? lol
- themarq, on 02/13/2009, -0/+6You're probably tired of hearing this, but I'm tired of people complaining about pop-ups....
...switch to a better browser and by better I mean "not IE."
If you're forced to use IE due to some corporate policy... I feel sorry for you, I really do; but the rest of us are tired of you bitching about a few pop-ups. - annjay, on 02/13/2009, -4/+10These are very useful tips and I think I could get my work more professional using these tips.
- darkstar949, on 02/13/2009, -1/+7Fast glass makes the difference.
If you have your ISO too high then the shot might look too grainy. However, if you have fast glass then you can use a lower ISO and still have a fast shutter speed. - TWallaceWD, on 02/13/2009, -0/+51, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 all seem really obvious. The others were interesting, though.
- majortom1981, on 02/13/2009, -1/+6Well I think its deserving since it actually gives usefull info unlike a lot of stuff that gets the front page.
- minnymoo, on 02/13/2009, -0/+5ISO makes the difference.

- zephyrTR, on 02/13/2009, -0/+4If you've never used an DSLR in your life, this is a great article. Also, I didn't know Dumbledore liked Goldshlaager
- asskicker32, on 02/13/2009, -0/+3I love playing with the white balance in low light shots and leaving the light source in the frame. I think it makes for some great pictures.

- inactive, on 02/13/2009, -0/+2It's ***** candle light photography. How many Digg users do you think will:
A) Ever encounter a candle light moment
B) Take a ***** picture of said moment
C) ***** - darkstar949, on 02/13/2009, -0/+2However, if you are using f/8 or f/11 for an aperture in low light, my comment about the ISO setting still applies unless you are using a high end camera body that can capture good quality at high settings. Usually, if you are shooting in low light and you don't want the shallow DoF, you are going to be using a tripod, or at the very least, a monopod.
- gdha, on 02/13/2009, -0/+2Beautiful photos!
- LeadStripes, on 02/13/2009, -0/+2Everyone who likes this kind of photographs should watch the movie Barry Lyndon. It's an absolutely beautiful movie.
- asskicker32, on 02/13/2009, -1/+3no, aperture makes the difference.
- tomharrow, on 02/13/2009, -0/+2fast lens is important i think. then you can shoot without a tripod and get more natural un-posed for shots
- tomharrow, on 02/13/2009, -2/+3i don't get why you get so many diggs? can someone explain?
- AndrewJC, on 02/13/2009, -2/+3Fast glass only makes a difference if you want a shallow depth of field. Fast glass does absolutely nothing if you need, say, f/8 or f/11. Then it's no different than a crappy kit lens at those apertures, except that faster lenses are usually of higher overall build quality than kit lenses, and will probably outperform the kit lenses in terms of IQ at equivalent f-stops.
Everybody seems to forget about depth of field when talking about low-light photography, as if getting a fast f/1.8 lens is going to fix all of their problems. Untrue: it fixes a lot of the problems, especially since oftentimes a narrow depth of field is going to work better to separate the subject from the background. But like all artistic things, this isn't ALWAYS what you want. - vrikis, on 02/13/2009, -1/+28 comments on a frontpage story? wtf?!?
