Say What? You most likely won't need to, but I wouldn't hesitate to bump that puppy up to1600. Around here, twenty minutes before sunrise is a lot of light.Originally Posted by Iguanasan
Just go into your menu and get the camera to help out. You have a high iso noise reduction option that can be set auto that will work just fine in this situation. In fact, there are setting you can make so that the camera won't bump the iso any higher than it needs to to get what the camera thinks is the shot, but I think I might stay away from that one.
Which in-camera "Picture Control" are you using? You might consider "Vivid" for that time of morning just to get a little better pop from the jpeg. You ARE shooting raw-jpeg...right? Just don't monkey around with any adjustments to the default "Vivid". Now's not the time to 'aspearament.
I don't imagine that either the crane or the plane are going to show up a day early, but your light might. If you could just spend a few minutes there the morning before to squeeze off a few of something in the light you most likely will encounter the next morning at different iso and aperture settings and get a look at...well, you know.
In my work, I'm involved in a lot of assisted lifts. One of my primary responsibilities is operating the overhead crane when we make a critical lift. From my experience, once it's hanging on the hook you generally like to go ahead and put it where you want it. So, if you want to try some HDR you probably need to talk with the operators about giving you a minute at some pre arranged spot. (you have any idea how much that minute will cost the museum?)
You'll have plenty of light and do just fine.If it were me, I'd be showing up with my D90 and the 70-300mm, that hasn't come of of it for a couple years now, without a worry.
I think I know how bad you want this to go well. Cross all the T's and dot the I's. Remember, it's usually the little things...
