ISO 3200, F2.8, 1/125s

Thought I tried ISO 3200 at MVCC but soon regretted 

Should have use FLASH instead , maybe high iso really not practical to use for portrait..

I've done shots at ISO3200 for events, ok what...

i dont see anything wrong in the picture, the hair details is there, shadow details retained, eyes is in focus and sharp, skin color is fair and smooth, eyes got catchlight, the HP board and hair contrast is a bit low but pp can save it

still can be save during pp if you are shooting raw and people just look at the girl most of the time, so as long as can see the face gao dim already

Of course can be done using FX.

This is nice

Guys, what picture styles you all use? For video and photography on your Nikon.

I can't trust my D7000's LCD. The colour looks nice on camera, but when I transfer to my PC, it looks hell... " (Or maybe I just didn't check the colours on my camera.)

If I use standard, it looks to plain on PC, if I use vivid, the colours looks too strong some times.

i shoot NEF so the picture style doesn't really matter, for video i dont know since i hardly do video, maybe just left it at standard or neutral

Actually I'm more impressed with the venue! Damn nice, and of course I think the guys did a good job making it look even better ;-).
What are you waiting for? Buy a FX then. D600/D800/D4

correcting barrel distortion on buildings in post, how 'accurate' is that? as compared to a lens with minimal barrel distort. haha my friend using canon 1Ds.. im not sure how serious he is, but he has has been talking about it for years.

So if i wanted to do a some architecture photography my 1755 would be sufficient for a start ?
on a side note, today I was given an extra flash from 1988.. lol ... SB-24 amazing, it still works! But no optical trigger, drats!

just got my d3200, first dslr. wanna ask when the lens is put in auto mode, it would auto focus and stuff would look sharp, but if it's in manual mode, it doesnt look sharp. why is that? should i press the shutter release longer to keep it in focus during manual mode?
