Ugh, they're SO grainy!

Well, the last two games before last night were on saturdays so I stupidly got used to the daylight meaning lower ISO, meaning little to no noise/grain.

Last night, I had to bump up to 3200 which is BAD because the noise is so terrible, my camera doesn't even like to go into ISO 3200. I have to set it through the custom functions, otherwise it will only go up to 1600. It's like the camera saying "Noooo, don't do it! You really don't want to use 3200 so I'll make sure you can't ever accidentally choose it, I'll make you work to set it that high!"

It makes me want the 1D Mark III even more *sniff*. Not only the fastest camera on the market but also handles noise at high ISO's like no other *cry*. It's only the greatest sports camera ever made *sob!*. And only about £3,000 *wail!* Okay, tantrum over.






I can't leave it on that grainy note so I will instead leave you with a picture of Paul and a Miss England Hopeful who was apparently so drunk she could not stand on her own like this for more than 30 seconds (very professional, no doubt she'll win Miss England).

It's pouring down but we won!

It was pouring rain today (of course, because it was a game day) so I spent most of my time trying to shield my camera from it. Even worse, the hardest part was trying to swap lenses without getting water IN the camera. I think I managed it because the camera appears to still be operating fine, lol. I got a few good shots despite the rain and even better, while I was attempting to dry my hair with the hand drier in the bathroom and injuring my neck in the process, the Reds won! Bring it on Salford!
