I remember years ago sneaking a monopod into a museum because I didn't want to have to shoot at 1600 ISO for fear of noise. That's one of my first impressions of the D750: when the termor of my aging hands doesn't take over, the behaviour of the stabilised Tamron 24~70mm lens lets me get away with exposures which previously would have been over the limit. Further these three shots were made at 1000 ISO and under exposed by 1/2 a stop (I was trying to avoid burning out highlights). I was expecting some sign of noise but there was virtually none. Later I went to ISO 1250 with much the same result. I could have pushed harder but being so far from a decent display I didn't want to push things. Now that I'm back home I will see how much further I can go. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Not bad. Have you tried pushing the ISO to 50k? The articulating viewfinder has me excited. -- PeterN |

The last one, the lion's head, looks quite similar to one that I took many years ago in Stockholm. The sailing warship Vasa had been found and raised,and was housed in a waterproof quonset hut while being sprayed with ethylene glycol to prevent the fragile wood from falling apart after several hundred years under water. I wonder if that was a naval symbol, or just a symbol of courage and strength. Mort Linder |

At the time I was at the beginning of the tour and new to the camera (still struggling to come to grips with the focussing/exposure system). I had a long way to go (more than a thousand more exposures it turned out). I had decided I was going to come back with pictures, not just test images, so I didn't push anything. I arrived back with congested lungs (hawk-spit) and then a power glitch took out my network printer. I've only managed to do intermittent editing since. I will try something more extreme soon. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

There are several sites, including the official museum site.

Is it conincidental that one of the translations of "Vasa" from Swedish to English is "fizzle"? From Google Translate: Translations of väsa verb hiss väsa, fräsa, utvissla, vina wheeze kikna, väsa, pipa fizz fräsa, väsa, pärla, moussera fizzle fräsa, väsa -- PeterN |
