Last night, we were at a basketball game and my friend Jeff asked me to shoot at test shot with my Nikon D3 at 25600 ISO. Here it is. The first shot is the original. I just made it to 4X6 at 72 dpi. The next photo was cropped 4X6 at 72 dpi with about 50% crop, the last shot on the botom was tight crop to show the close up noise. I did not do anything with these photos. I shot this at ISO 25600, f/6.3, at 1/500 sec. at 200mm. Read more

Some of you might have seen photographers, with this weird looking plastic lunch bowl on their camera’s flash. Some people might joke that you can eat out of it, but it’s really the Gary Fong’s Lightsphere. Gary Fong, a famous celebrity wedding photographer invented this very strange but useful flash diffuser. Unlike some other flash diffusers that directs light forward, the Lightshere actually lights up the whole room. The inside surface of the lightsphere is textured so light is dispersed even more for a softer look. The lightsphere is soft and flexible so it can fit in most camera bags.
