Nice shot again.. But there is a little bit of noise.. Why do u use such a high ISO when u have good lighting to use 1/1000 shutter speed.

Hi Renuka, I would have liked to have lowered the iso on this one ;). As you know sometimes there is not enough time to get the settings just as you'd like them. I keep my aperture fixed on 5.6 and the first thing I do is try and get the exposure compensation set right. Then I try and use as low of an iso as I can to try and get a shutter speed of about 1/400 to 1/600. I find I need about that fast of a speed to try and get sharpness by handholding this fairly heavy f/4 lens with teleconverter....
