I have found that when pushing the performance envelope I’m less likely to completely lose a shot due to too high an ISO than I am to too low of a shutter speed. Here’s one with my K-5, which I was surprised to note after the fact was at ISO 10,000. To me, the noise looks on par with the grain from Tri-X. http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/9313464692/ full set http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157634684347823 Another time I was photographing some friends on stage, and in post processing I noticed that one of the frames as a bit noisy, then I realized that it was at ISO 25,600 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/8366084507/ full set: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157632485855236 In short, my feeling is lean on your shutter speed and aperture as hard as you feel safe, and take what ISO you get. If the final result is too noisy to be usable, chances are you would have lost it with a slower shutter speed. -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
