Thanks Heather.
Nikon’s pretty good with high ISO on their pro models though, no?
And, of course, a well executed B&W Conversion can do wonders for a noisy image!
(Actually just sold my 40D to a ‘switcher’ – he’s very very happy!)

GReat pics! Ben, I can’t believe how beautiful that photo is – especially since I was there and saw how challenging that light was. wow – 6400ISO – I’m blown away. I’m getting more and more tempted to switch to Canon!

I can’t wait to try this assignment, sounds like a good one. Without more constraints it makes it more challenging to figure out what to shoot though!

OK, finally, I get to enter a shot. Not a traditional ‘portrait’, but one that embodies the subject, who *is* his music and guitar, so definitely still a portrait!
