Show me you High Iso photos

[Jaap Meijer]

Fortunately new DLSRs are getting better in high iso photos. Does anyone of you use this opportunity?

3200 ISO

6400ISO

I usually limit to 1600 ISO, for which the grain is visible but remains totally acceptable.


I've never tried to higher the ISO on purpose, I mean to make a grainy pic. This is an interesting idea, I'll have to put this on my to-do list.

This is one of my better high ISO shots: 2500



3200 ISO

@scatcat this is beautiful!

@polarvrtx Especially like the top one!

1600 ISO

@djepie love how the second one feels like a film poster with grain!

[Richard Tyson]

ISO 3200

@rich57 nice. in black and white you can sort of get away with it being "grain". i've never gone to 3200 before though. 1600 is normally my highest ISO. 2000 is "in case of emergency, break glass"

[Richard Tyson]

@scatochef This was a mistake. I'd just got my new canon and accidentally set the ISO to 3200! But I've found that actually high ISO works well for street shots, especially as the light dims.

Hmmm... more than a 1/3 of my images are shot at ISO3200. Thank god for LR3 noise reduction and improvements in sensor technology.

I shoot fashion type work, and tend to keep my ISO low at 50-100. Apparently that carries over into all of my work. This is my highest so far in the project at 2500.

My next highest is 1000, from there its the occasional 400.

Not mine - by @anyamaria - ISO 8000! One of my favourite photos on the site :)

I mainly utilize high ISO for football - whether indoors out in a dome, the lighting is always awful and I don't have a 200mm f/2 lens in my bag yet. :)

Here are a few from my project

ISO 6400 (Outdoor night game)

@rich57 ISO 3200 works very well in this shot!

[Muse]

@jinximages brilliant use of high ISO in the second pic! I love this kind of image!

[Muse]

@sdpace impressive 6400 ISO shots! I've never ever tried this with my D90, that's interesting! I'm curious, did you use the noise reduction function, or did you edit for noise reduction? Your pics looks so smooth, but in the same time sharp enough on the focused parts. It works well with these action shots.

@scatcat @toast @jojo2009 @sdpace @pocketmouse @notsorandompics @melee09 @ariananeala @jinximages @doblaine @lalola616 @sburbidge @davetom @rich57 @egad @polarvrtx Thanks for showing your hi-iso examples. This realy shows to all 365'ers that with a modern DSLR it is worth trying these setting instead of simple flashing. Nice to see all situations in which you all use hi-iso.

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

@scatcat i did a little noise reduction in lightroom for these :)

[Jaap Meijer]

@jinximages The 25600ISO example shows perfectly a photo doesn't need to be free of noise, great shot!

[Claire Rose]

This was on 2500, extremely high for a gal who usually shoots at 100.

& this one at 1600

[TPiix]

just found this thread on a search :)

here's mine, took it tonight, 6400 hand held, and for my first intentionally high iso, i'm very happy with it ;)
