20100107-_DSC8415-Edit-2.jpg

Near our hotel in Albany, NY is a small coffee shop called Professor Java’s Coffee Sanctuary. I’ve made two visits and enjoyed my experience both times. The coffee is good and the sandwiches are top-notch. The ambiance is what I liked the most. They have converted an older home into this sanctuary so we have three separate rooms, each with its own feel. I noticed these two gentlemen ordering their coffees and setting up a table to play their game. This was the image liked best. I had taken a couple of images and then just watched through the view finder in anticipation of one of the men to make his move. When he did I pressed the shutter. This was also taken at ISO 3200.

Wow, no noise at 3200 ISO. This is fantastic. Have to admit when it comes to noise reduction, Nikon does beat Canon but then Canon beats Nikon in other areas. Maybe I should shoot with both!

The kind of photo I'd like to take but so very rarely, if ever, get close ...

Great shot Monty, a true life style portrait. I'm a Canon man, but in low light and high ISO I think the Nikon leaves the competition standing.
