Continuing my wanderings after sunset I had put away my camera as I didn't have a tripod nor my fast lenses when I chanced apon a large group of young partiers at the English Bay Innucksuk. The scen was surreal, I had to see if I could get shots.
I manually over road everything, setting my Nikon D3s to the max, H3, effective ISO of 102,000! Even then the beast was not giving a long enough exposure on the automatic settings, so I went totally manual. I found I could get something shooting at 1/15or 1/30, stupid slow with a 28 -300mm f3.5-63 lens, and no tripod. I improrovised, using logs and benches to steady myself and the camera. Well I did get something. These shots wouldn't make decent prints, but they are better than not getting any shots. I do wish I had my 85mm f1.4 lens and a tripod so I could have a least a few printable shots of the "Decentralized Dance Party" on English Bay.
