morning on the mountain

[scooter2044]

We went to visit my parents over the weekend and we always stop on top of the mountain for a break. The sun was shining through the pines. It was Black Friday and I knew it was the last peaceful moment of the day. I forgot the tripod so I did the best I could handheld. C&C welcome.

I love everything about it but it doesnt look as sharp as it should be. What ISO and shutter speed?

No tripod. Shutter speed 1/90, iso 100, 250mm, f/5.6. Kit lens, and I'm not the steadiest at handheld shots. It's also heavily cropped.

If you can up your shutter speed to about 1/250 and your iso 400 you should be fine.

Agree and don’t be afraid to push ISO even higher.

Thanks for the info and taking the time to comment. Grain doesn't bother me so I don't know why I always try to keep the iso so low.

Thanks for helping. With my unsteady hands maybe I should just leave it at 400 all the time, lol.
