StAugustinePub.jpg

This had very dim lighting and I had to shoot 1/25 at f3.2 even at ISO 1600. Hand held.
The original jpeg was a bit noisy and the WB was more green/blue than it should have been. I don't like to force the camera to balance the light with a manual white balance as that tends to accentuate noise made worse as the blue channel is amplified in order to counteract the reddish tungsten lighting.
It's not a good quality photo, as there is a lot of detail in the scene, which is hard to capture at ISO 1600. More detail might have been captured at 12 MP at the expense of higher noise levels in the image. But as the final image had to be scaled for the web to less than 1 MP, there didn't seem much point in starting with a 12 MP image as the detail was going to be lost through the scaling operation anyway.
