Christmas in Ireland

[digmo]

Tonight we attended a Christmas event just outside Belfast. I asked my twitter contacts what lens I should take and the 50mm was recommended for low light. I took a large number of photos but have found they are a little grainy due to an ISO of 3200. I am not sure how to strike the balance but here are the shots.

Should I have manually reduced the ISO ?

I really like this one, yes it's a little grainy, but still very nice. I was in belfast several years ago, Spent a wonderful month there in the summer, when the Days are long and the nights very short! I hope someday to get back to your wonderful Country.
Thanks for sharing this

since it is a stationary object...dial down the iso and slow down the shutter speed.....but you will need a tripod.....if handheld, it is a crapshoot

Very cool image digmo. I really like the simplicity of it.

never mind striking the balance, you've struck the chord ....
