Low Light Rapid Fire!

It was 6:32 AM; light snow had fallen, so I wanted to capture a shot that included the snow and the antique tiller that my wife had purchased. I goosed up the ISO to 1600 and even though using a fast lens, the Nikon 50mm AF f/1.8 at f/1.8, my shutter speed was only 1/10 sec. That's too slow for hand-held; this is not a vibration reduction (VR) lens.
So, I put the Nikon D300 on high speed, and fired off four (4) shots, realizing that your body "settles down" and typically one of the shots will be sufficiently sharp. The sharpest is above, actually the third taken. Numbers 1 and 4 here were about the same.

This one I adjusted with levels a bit. I thought these were a bit too light compared to what I saw.

This one was the softest, actually shot second.

Try it out sometime. Of course, your chances are improved if your camera is quick, or you have a VR lens; the D300 is rated to do 6 frames/sec.
