Yesterday, I went to the bowling alley with my siblings to cheer them on as they bowl for their league. Long story short, the lighting SUCKED! I ended up shoot at ISO 3200 because I couldn't stop down any lower. Apparently, my camera doesn't like high ISO, because there is a tremendous amount of grain in them. This leads me to my point, I need a new lens. I'm going to be purchasing the Nikon 50mm 1.4 in a couple weeks. Hopefully, when I go back to the bowling alley this time, I'll be able to stop down lower and shoot at a lower ISO.
Here is the original picture:
Here is my quick edit:
I didn't want to do too much more editing on it because I was starting to greatly lose sharpness. Not really looking for critique as I realize that these aren't very good compositionally speaking; this one just was good for the ISO example.
Is there anything else I could have tried instead of upping the ISO? I was shooting at f/5.6 and 1/160 at ISO 3200. If I went any slower on the shutter speed, I started to get motion blur. Also, I don't yet have a speedlight (also hopefully in the next month...)
Thanks!
