Just a quick snapshot of the bar before I went in. Here you can see the effects of Active D-lighting coupled with Nikon’s amazing wide-angle zoom.
I could have stopped down a little (really though, it is unecessary as the hyperfocal distance is 5.3 feet). However, I left the camera in Auto-ISO mode for parties which is why the ISO would have just moved to grainy levels to compensate. I had been fiddling with the D-lighting controls last night so it wasn’t as strong a setting as this scene demands.
Postprocessing to bring out the shadow detail and you can see, even at ISO 1000+, there is still a lot of dynamic range usable in the shadows.
