Show me: your low-light *FLASHLESS* pictures

[handicap18]

I know this was posted like, 2 weeks ago, but I just found this thread and had to say that your daughter is one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen (and I work with kids!) She is absolutely adorable!!!!

Thank you very much NurseJamie. Very kind words.

Here are a few of mine.
Just got back and haven't had time to edit them (other than resizing)
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous!

WhooHoo! a compliment from Kelly!

I was hesitant to post after seeing all of the amazing work you folks are capable of but now that the dam is broken, here are a few more.
Nothing earth shattering. Hopefully it's worthy of sitting side by side with your efforts.

Another Scifi

My kids & the Epcot fiber optic sidewalks

The typical Space Ship Earth shots that we've all taken

The fountain at the Royal Polynesian Resort (universal)

And this one is a cheat - I did use flash but the little pop-up on my Minolta 5D doesn't really count from that distance, does it?

 

[Kelly Grannell]

Wow! I think you're the first person who 'caught' the Yeti this clearly. Every other photos I've seen of the Yeti have been blurry.

 

[extreme8]

That's me, the great Yeti hunter.
Here's the same pic with some processing in Photoshop.

OK seriously, you gals and guys are amazing.
Could you tell me which one of you are using point and shoot camera without manual settings? And what camera.
I could never get any pictures close to what you all have...
makes me jealous...

Thanks for the help!

All mine were with sport settings on my Kodak, I didn't bother with manual, just point and shoot and hope for the best.

WOW!!!
Which kodak do you have?
That's wonderful.

 

[grimgrinnin]

how do you do this? i was guessing tripod and slow shutter but can't picture you using a tripod here..mind if you show you info for this one

I rested the camera on the chain-link fence in the que. You can see a little piece of the fence in the bottom right of the pic.

How on earth did you get this pic? I am so jealous. What did you use for settings? Please, oh please, help the inept!!

I used a tripod for this one. Not sure of the settings, as I don't have the original image handy.

Z760, I love it, I've gotten pretty good results with little effort.

Thanks 2angelsinheaven!

Kelly, your pictures are amazing (ok, the crab one REALLY grosses me out... ...).

 

[Kelly Grannell]

thanks. It grosses me out too, but the museum wants is for their brochure so I'm sharing the grossity (yeah, that's not a word) with the DISers.

All pictures were taken using ISO 1600 or 3200, handheld including the top one (1/4 second shutter speed) thanks to the Canon 17-55/2.8 IS.

 

[2angelsinheaven]

Kelly, how much does a camera like that cost w/ lens?

 

[Kelly Grannell]

for those shots I use Canon 30D with vertical grip with Canon 17-55 f/2.8 IS lens. The total price in Canada (converted to US dollars) is approximately $3,000. I think you can get the same configuration in the US for only $2,500.

These are awesome!!!! I LOVE lightning pictures. I've been lucky to catch a few myself, but nothing like this.
