Description

Wrightsville Beach, NC Since I was a kid this has been my favorite fishing pier. I've watched it change over the years -- it's been destroyed a few times by hurricanes. They keep trying to build it stronger each time ... we'll see... I'm trying out some shots at ISO 400. I knew before I bought this camera that it's a bit grainy at that speed, but the more I look at the photos, the more I like the different look ... I'd like to know what my friends think...

Frame matches well, perspective is ace, certainly you should not get concerned about the asa, pin sharp is not always welcome in landscapes its more the mood.The last image in my gallery(thanks for choosing it)was shot at 800. I have abandoned many traditional rules and try for the image rather than getting concerned too much about the technical side.

I have a thing about piers as well, you captured this perfectly. Your new camera is just fine; it's your eye that gets the shot!!!

Don't see a grain here, just an amazing dreamlike shot.

You've got my mind going in different directions! 1) Sometimes grain is desirable. I have a filter plug-in that actually ADDS grain to a shot! It's all about taste and mood and effect and what you're looking to convey. This is a wonderful image, and the grain here doesn't bother me at all, even at full view with magnification. 2) I didn't know Johnny Mercer had a pier named after him. Is that body of water, then, the Moon River?

I think the grain is from the dark shadows mixed with a background with much more light.even with more expensive cameras will have the same result if the lighting interferes with the camera's automatic setting
