I have taken photos of musical groups indoors (no window light to speak of available) on a couple of occasions without using flash with my 35mm f1.8. I have never been happy with the results when the ISO has been high. Has anyone tested the D5100 for acceptable results indoors without flash...

21st December Went to listen to my mate playing in a big brass band last night. Good music but hard to photograph as the venue was full of distractions. I am struggling to delete the distractions so decided that in the interests of getting the day's photos up I will post one and do the touch...

I spotted this lone leaf lying on the ground. It was quite small - about half the size of a match box.

Here's one technique I saw in a magazine earlier today. A deliberate blur created by vertical panning. I quite like the result.

Sitting in the lounge a minute ago I realised something. I had been reading and decided to give my eyes a bit of a break so I took my glasses off; that's when it hit me! I almost jumped up and ran down the road shouting "Eureka, eureka" but wisdom told me that posting this would get the...

20th December Thought I would get them in early today. Saw this Drill Sergeant Major practising on the lawn and he was impossible to ignore.

19th December I thought I had got some good stuff tonight - turns out not so good and these are the best two.

18th December A dog day afternoon ... some people are just awesome. I went down to the river and as I parked my car there was this guy with his 3 dogs. The one dag was just lying on the footpath and needed shooting. well it didn't take him long to come over and start getting them all to...

Thought it might be interesting to hear stories about those that "lurked" and then decided to join. Sort of like: Why did you lurk? How long did you lurk? Did you lurk on any other forums? What made you decide to join? Anything else you can tell us all that may be...

17th December We had a very short but heavy downpour and I was hoping to catch a car driving in a flooded road but as luck would have it no cars came past at the right time. i did shoot one old dear passing but by then the water had pretty much washed off but ... I still like the shot. ​

16th December Not at all in the right frame (no pun intended) of mind today. Not sure why. Is there such a thing as "shuttered out"?

15th December I can smell the end of year AKA the finish line! Took quite a few shots today and was a bit disappointed in all of them. Did my best processing this one.

14th December I was hoping to get a dramatic shot of meat flaming on a grill but sadly there was not enough oil on the meat and/or the fire wasn't hot enough to produce the drama I was after. However on the bright side the food and the company were both excellent. ​

These taken at maximum shutter speed trying out a few things with macro lens Check these wings go - still a blur despite the fast shutter speed.

here's another after going back to practice.

!3th December I tried @Scott Murray's suggestion of manual focusing with my macro. While the photos were not perfect I did enjoy trying my hand at it. Got some good bee ones and this flower - two options. Maybe I should take that little background bud out. I originally left it in...
