The Last Supper

Nice one Gab...now I've just got to work out who's who!

Thank you all for your comment, I appreciate...

...I think I may have gone for a slightly faster ISO but this has worked very well at 1/32 shutter speed.

Thanks Richard... I typically set the camera on ISO AUTO with a max of 400 ISO, this consent me to have a good picture without excessive noise, also considering that I don't like to shot with flash. I use higher ISO only if really cannot do differently. Let's say that until a 1/15 I can have good results, under this time of course I switch to higher ISO or use a small tripod...

Gab,

Thanks for that information which as made me rethink the ISO settings on my GRD IV. I was using ISO Auto Hi with a max of 1600 with the change-up at 1/125...I'll try 1/60 instead. You must have a very steady hand to get good results at 1/15!

As an aside, I quite impressed at how the IV is handling higher ISOs - I have come from a II of course which really was limited to 400 for acceptable noise. The picture of Mollie (the dog) in this month's competition was shot at around ISO 1450 and the lack of noise (with weak NR) quite surprised me (not to say that it's a good photo of course!).

Anyway, the more I look at your last supper, the more impressive it becomes.

@Pavel: thank you for your comment, very appreciated...

@Marcus: to be honest I'm sure only on the person in the center...

@Richard: I'm very basic with this setting (ISO Auto) since I left the time choice to the camera (and I'm satisfied enough with this...).
To shoot free hands at 1/15 is of course challenging but I'm using a very simple escamotage that is helping me to mitigate (of course not eliminate) some of the vibrations of the camera. I use the neck strap to reduce the forward-backward vibrations just pulling it completely at the maximum distance from my face (it helps me also to see better... ). As said this "handicraft" solution is not eliminating the problem but can really help to reduce it...
