Here’s a selection of photographs that I’ve shot in low light over the past few years. The action pictures are all with prime lenses, and generally at ISO800 or higher. I find that these types of photographs tend to be either ‘hit’ or ‘miss’; if it’s a good one, it’s very good (and the rest are summarily deleted). Good timing and a fast frame rate are useful, and I don’t usually post-process these pictures significantly.
Portraits, on the other hand, are relatively straightforward to shoot, but take up considerable time in post-processing to achieve the best result. Portraits of large groups almost always need more post-processing, as there are many little aspects to tidy up (e.g., shadowed faces that need lightening).
