Japan - Disney, Castle Mosaic

Shortly after taking the picture featured in yesterday's post I venture into the castle and encountered these beautiful mosaics created with scenes from the Disney classics.  It was darkish in there so the ISO was cranked up to 1600, but even so it was hard to maintain a steady handhold.  Thankfully the shutter speed was up to around a sixtieth of a second.

These are the best kinds of photos to use in determining the focus accuracy of a lens and resolution of a sensor, with the gamut of color and sharp edges of the tiles.  Must say that I was pleased with the Big Cahoona's performance on this one.

Speaking of that, after having done considerable research on a potential move to full-frame I've just about locked down a decision to buy the D750.  As stated in (much) earlier posts, the wife has given the green light to go ahead and buy anything I want, so long as it makes sense in the way it's managed.  In other words, don't leave the Big Cahoona laying around unused, along with its lenses, while the new guy gets all the exercise.

We'll see if and when it happens.  If not, I still have a very good camera as evidenced in pictures such as the one above.
