Rome: Ancient Wine Cellar (Dark High ISO) - edC&C Appreciat

[TheBigE]

Again, another picture of food tour. One stop was a very nice small restaurant in the Jewish Ghetto where we visited the "ancient" wine cellar. (Mental note to start taking notebook with me to record specifics of locations in future....) I wish I could remember more details, but it was very fascinating to see...and very dark.

Difficult for Hand holding but was able to get a few decent results. You can see I boosted the ISO just to be able to accomplish this shot



Any feedback is appreciated

Nice composition, consider using flash to help with low lighting conditions.

It was obviously a very testing scene to photograph.

If you could have got the foreground (bottles on the left) in sharp focus this would have been a really spectacular photo. But I suppose that would have required a merge of at least two shots taken with a tripod; which probably wasn't an option.

Yes it was a challenging condition - very dark and difficult lighting. No tripod, so it was handheld. I braced myself up against some boxes and tried my best.

Still even at that it was ISO10000, F/3.5 to get to 1/35s
