MTR Admiralty Posted April 16, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 16, 2009 Cool photos but cut it out with the flash. You don't want to blind people you know. Isn't flash usage prohibited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted April 16, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 16, 2009 Isn't flash usage prohibited? It is but a lot of people gets away with it at times. @bveguy - Nice pics! I like the with the spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bveguy Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted April 16, 2009 Well, it is, a bit. But then again, that train was going so fast you couldn't get it without one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted April 16, 2009 Share #11 Posted April 16, 2009 Well, it is, a bit. But then again, that train was going so fast you couldn't get it without one...Yeah you can, adjust the ISO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bveguy Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share #12 Posted April 17, 2009 I tried, but even with the ISO on the max, 1600, and f/4.5, 1/60, it still comes out really blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted April 17, 2009 Share #16 Posted April 17, 2009 f/4.5 is a bit too slow for underground, IMO. I'd try to stick with f/4 and faster. Remember that lower f/numbers allow more light in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted April 17, 2009 Share #17 Posted April 17, 2009 Nice shots, but careful with flash as others say. Its violating Code 1050.9C with flash.. =)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that lower f/numbers allow more light in. Thanks guys. Anyways, the camera would only allow me to lower it to f/4.5 in that area. At some time, it goes down to as low as f/3.5, but I always have it to the lowest it can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted April 19, 2009 Share #20 Posted April 19, 2009 Very nice pics. Even though flash can be useful, it is illegal so you shouldn't and can't use it anyway. Besides, flash is only good for non-reflective surfaces, so seeing a giant white spot on a subway car subtracts from the picture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapid Transit TO Posted April 22, 2009 Share #22 Posted April 22, 2009 Nice Pics, I didnt know about the flash rule.. Most manufactures keep the 50mm lens prices low. For Canon DSLR users, for about $70-90 you can get the 50mm f1.8 lens which will let you get more 'no flash allowed' shots than with the slower zoom lenses. It's be like shooting an 80mm lens on the 1.6X sensor cams. It's a fixed length, so you'll have less quantity of opportunities, but possibly more quality shots. Check your cam manual to see if you have 'High ISO noise reduction'. It's C.FnII-2 on my 40D. Also, Try to tuck you elbow into your gut/side, and lean on something if possible to stabilize the cam & yourself. Keep shooting, I'll be watching to see if I turn up in someones pic!
