Yesterday morning I had to go to downtown Hilo and I thought maybe I would take my DSLR and walk around the farmers market and see what I can find to photograph. I knew that it would be dark under the awnings and I did not want to use flash so I set my camera on RAW, Auto and ASA 1600 before I left the house. I have never shot with that high an ASA and I wanted to see how well it would work. It was a beautiful morning with lots of great cloud formations. As I approached the downtown I saw this great view of the bay. So I stopped and walked out on the beach and got a couple of shots. I didn’t want the highlights in the clouds to be blown out so I used a -1 bias setting. I noticed that the shutter speed was very fast 1/4000 and I kinda wondered what that was about but just for an instant. So I had a great time shooting the colorful fruits and vegetables and a few of the folks. Later I did a bit of a walk about around town and got a few more shots. So back at the house I downloaded and processed the images. The first one was the bay view. I could not believe the “grain”. Maybe you can’t see it in the small image so enlarge it. It looks pointalistic (which is not a word but you get the point, pun intended) As you will see in the next few days this grain which I really think is called “noise” in digital talk does not show up much in the dark interior views I will have to ask my friend Carl Weese what that is all about.
