I spent the afternoon shooting at a cool place south of Taos that has tons of old gas station signs and memorabilia. This was another opportunity to test the low-light/high-ISO capabilities of the Canon 5D mark II and again I was left impressed.
This image was captured using ISO 800 with an exposure of 1/25th at f/5.6 and was shot with the 24-105 f/4L IS lens at 24mm hand-held with the Image-Stabilizer turned on.

That place is so cool!!! I know my Dad would have loved ALL of that……..great shots too!
Beautiful! I’ve wanted to explore there forever. This is the stuff I still love about photography.
Sarah, thank you for your comments.
Brian, it’s a great place with tons of interesting stuff to photograph. Thank you for the comment.
That camera does really well in mid-range/low light situations. Looking at it, I would have thought you used a tripod and ISO 200 or so. Thats great in hand held.
