WHO NEEDS "IS" WITH THE 20D ?

Here's a full-sized image that I took yesterday with my 20D.

Who needs IS when you can just crank up the ISO, roll the car window
halfway down and use it as your tripod? You know, as much as I shoot
out the car window I really do need one of those beanbag thingies.

wow, neat photo.

But if you did have IS you could have shoot at ISO 800 or even 400 and
had an even cleaner photo.

That IS a great shot. Handheld at such a high ISO with no IS, even
more impressive. The car window comes in handy, as I've found out many
times. Without a solid support, I'm not as steady with the big glass
and would really appreciate the IS. I tend to agree with Scott W.

I'm a Nikon lover and there's no way this shot is gonna make me change brands,
but I have to admit that I'm a bit jealous now (I shoot at iso 1600 99% of the
time and even when shooting raw and after a noiseninja intervention my images
aren't this clean)!

But hey, you have to live with the funny control layout ;-) (just joking here,
please don't take it serious).

Regards,

Jan

ps.: But hey, there's nothing like a little noise to make a good image a
stunning one:

That is a great image....the noise gives it a more dramatic feeling.
Back in the early-mid 80's, I always used very high ISO film to get
this grainy effect for special reasons. Well done!

Thanks Helen,

I still shoot high iso BW film (tri-x 400 and tmax 3200) these days for the
grain and for Ilford Multigrade IV FB Fiber (although I prefer digital for
most of my work because of the tremendous time it saves me (Labs here suck so I
have to do all processing and printing myself)).

Kind reagrds,

Jan

I've used Kodak P3200 for years and found it a very versatile film. I
agree with you about digital though. Is it hard finding some favorite
films out in Belgium? Such as Fuji Velvia 50.

I haven't shot color film for years, I've never shot slide film.
Most reasonably normal films are available in every self respecting photo shop
around. I haven't come across a single photo-shop that didn't have tri-x or
p3200. I think they also have Velvia, if not on stock they would certainly be
happy to order it. Ilford paper was a bit hard to get or two ago when they were
sold, but that's solved now.

Prices of both film and paper have increased with at least 20% in the last 3
years. But I guess that's what we have to pay in exchange for the cheaper
cameras (DSLR's are getting cheaper everyday, prices for film SLR's are so low
you can buy 10 for the price of 1 a couple of years ago).

Jan
