IN THE FIEld Testbench The accuracy and response of the D5’s focusing in nearpitch-black environments proved remarkable and impressive photographer makes you a better photographer. It’s not just a case of having confidence in your own creative capabilities, but also having lots of confidence in the equipment you’re using. As well as being superbly impressed with the 24-70mm VR lens that came with the D5, I also tried out a few shots on my latest Nikon purchases: the Nikon 35mm f/1.4 and Nikon 58mm f/1.4 lenses. Talk about sharp. These lenses, combined with this camera, are a match made in heaven. There’s a bit of fall-off on the edges when shooting wide open, but that’s to be expected. In my opinion, it’s this effect that gives these prime lenses their unique character. For the speeches I boosted up to ISO 10,000 and beyond without worrying that my files were going to be too noisy. This is a camera that allows you to push raw files to the extreme. I also found the dynamic range to be as good as that on the D750. My 70-200mm lens, which I sometimes use for speeches, only opens as wide as f/4; hence shooting in dark venues, like the barn I was in, means it is An example of where auto ISO was used. This approach to working lets me concentrate on getting the shot rather than faffing around with camera settings essential to have a camera that is capable of shooting in low-light conditions with high ISO settings – unless you want to use flash, of course. In the evening, I nearly always pop my SB-900 flashgun on and shoot some fun shutter-drag images on the dance floor. This wedding was no different, and I was very happy with the shots I got as the band started their evening set. At times it was almost pitch-black on the dance floor, yet the D5 managed to lock on to people’s faces easily with very little light on them. By bursting a tiny bit of flash, setting a slow shutter speed and giving the camera a sideways swipe, I got lots of shutter-drag photos of people having fun. I know that, like many other DSLRs, the D5 has subscribe 0330 333 1113 I www.amateurphotographer.co.uk I 14 May 2016 45
