A Pirate’s Death for Me – David Punch
The first “low light” lens I ever bought was the Canon “nifty” 50 f/1.8. And to give it a proper test, we rode one of our family favs, POTC. Armed with the 50, and shooting wide open at f1.8, I tried my best to grab all the shots that had eluded me in the past. Here’s one of the first “successful” shots from that ride. I still had to bump up the ISO to 6400 and shoot at 1/40 sec to expose it. But the capture was there.
Side note… Since then, I’ve upgraded to the 50 f/1.4. And even though I think it’s a better lens, I’m still a bit loyal to that first, plastic feeling, light weight, cheap 1.8.
