[QUOTE="aroy, post: 549160, member: 16090"] If you shoot RAW, with a 1.8 lens, then you will get a much better light. I have shot with D3300 and 35mm F1.8 in low light and for a stationary object with steady hands you can easily shoot at ISO 400, F1.8 at around 1/25 sec. As commented if you intend to take more such shots, invest in an F1.8 lens - 35mm, 50mm or even 85mm, and practice with slow speeds in low light. With proper technique you can steady the hands to get sharp shots at 1/25. Another trick to get vibration free shots is to fire a burst of 3-5 shots. The later shots will have less vibration. One advantage of shooting at or below ISO 400 in RAW is that you can recover relatively noise free shadows. In your case the bust would then be properly lighted.
