Shooting at high ISO

Hello

I have searched this forum for some tips but cant seem to find any

Does anyone have any links for tips with regard to shooting at ISO 1600 and above.

Cheers

Yeah....set the camera to ISO1600. And shoot.


Nail your exposure and the noise will be quite acceptable. Not much else to tell you other than that. Same fundamentals apply at all ISOs.

Buy a copy of Noise Ninja - 1600 ISO shots look like 800 ISO

I shoot a high proportion of my work at 3200 !

i prefer fred miranda's iso x pro plugin

I tend to use PSCS2 I find it works better the NN. I have used both on the same image. Just remeber when shooting 400 and greater. You will get noise. If you have to shoot 1600 try converting to B&W it will give the image a nice effect.

The best piece of advice is to get the exposure spot on.

I have shots in ISO 1600 that look rather nice in a 12x18 print

That's probably the #1 rule....

I was affraid to use it just because the few times I tested it I was underexposing, making the shots look like c****p. If you expose the picture properly (look at the histogram) and you use a noise removal program, your pictures should look fine.

Leo.

I use 3200 all the time in my 5D and did in my 20D...with noise Ninja....they look better than Plus X or Tri X...sooooo just do it.....have fun and leave the flash at home....don
