(Photo by Brooke Shaden)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My choice of camera often revolves around how well it will do in low light. When I set up my shot, I couldn\u2019t see in front of me because it was so dark. I needed to choose equipment with a high dynamic range that wouldn\u2019t litter my image with noise because of my lighting choice. In this case, I chose the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/isoa7r4.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony A7R IV<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>The lens:<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/iso2470gm.jpg\" alt=\"Sony FE 24-70mm f\/2.8 GM (G Master) E-Mount Lens\" width=\"700\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/iso2470gm.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/iso2470gm-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/iso2470gm-50x31.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"tn-read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adorama.com\/iso2470gm.html\">Shop Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The thing that made the biggest difference while shooting this image was the choice of lens. The grass near the lake had beautiful swirling patterns in it because of the water rising and receding, but shooting on a portrait lens didn\u2019t get the kind of distorted feeling that I hoped for. I was aiming for it to look as if the grass were coming into the camera.<\/p>\n<p>I chose to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/iso2470gm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sony FE 24-70mm f\/2.8 GM lens<\/a> at 24mm to give enough distortion to the grass.
