Lord Mayor’s Fireworks
13th Nov 2008
London’s annual Lord Mayor’s Show ended with the usual spectacular Fireworks display on Saturday evening.
I took the opportunity to try out the Canon EOS 50D and the EFS 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM in a low-light, night-time setting. The results were as expected: Superb images at the lower sub-400 ISOs, so-so at around 800 ISO, and noisy at 1600 ISO. The f/2.8 and the Image Stabilisation of the lens helped me get some very clean shots.
