It’s been a while since I’ve pulled out my camera to shoot pictures other than of golf clubs for work. It’s been too hot to bother with the camera while walking the dog each day but the last two days has seen some cooler evening temperatures (finally!). I brought along the D5100 for some casual photo taking as well as some high ISO evening shots.
As I parked my R2 outside my in-law’s place a couple of days ago, the sun was setting over in the west end of Chiyoda so I snapped a quick one. I did NOT use the HDR function on the D5100 so this is a pretty good example of how well Nikon’s matrix metering works.
Here’s another angle above, except at ISO2000. The Nikon D5100 continues to really kick ass at high ISO with very clean images.
The shot above was taken last night while heading out with my wife and our dog for our evening walk. The sun was setting in the distance over Kiminomori. I shouldn’t have shot at f16 as it bumped ISO up to 900 but with the D5100 I can’t complain. Again this was taking in aperture priority and is NOT HDR.
Few more shots below, most after the sun has set (you can see the street lamps are on). Our doggy shot is at iso6400!
