My First Good Night Time No Flash Picture!!

[Pachimac]

I was SOOOOO happy with this one!!! At 300 dpi you can read "King Arthur's Carousel" through the castle doors...and this is untouched by Photoshop - straight out of the camera!

I brought a tri-pod and used 400 ISO, 3.2 second shutter speed, AV 11. And oh - about 20 other shots bracketing everything until I found the right combination! LOL!

I have RAW versions of everything too - gonna see what else I can do!!
