El mundo se ha vuelto loco / The world has turned crazy

Wars, disease, famine, death might well think we are witnessing a tragedy ... On the other hand, I wanted to make a nod to the movie "The Great Dictator", helped by danbo with the occasion of "camera settings challenge: maximum iso" .

I pushed the camera to its maximum 3200 ISO. To minimize noise, I overexposed picture 1 or 1 and 1/2 EV, to avoid having to touch the highlights in post processing and generate additional noise, setting shutter and f number to let the histogram to the right side without having peaks.

This trick works better with raw files because you can recover more information from the highlights zone than with JPEG that simply blows away and you get a plain white area with no information.

Then in post processing, I corrected the exposure, darkening the photo to give it a more pleasant light. Thus, I only had to work with the noise generated by the high ISO, this is much less than if I had to add light to the picture. Finally working with a low f number, and average shutter speed ( from 1/50s and above ) you have a chance to take photos hand held with low light conditions.
Great shot! Nice lighting! The world has turned crazy indeed. We have smart phones and dumb people. =)

@altadc Thank you. I think that smartphones and fast food are the worst in the equation ;)
@brigette Thank you very much. Not really technical, It's easy to play at home with a little bulb or lamp light. :)
@alia_801 Thank you very much ;)
@dianeburns Thank you very much ;)

@yolanda muchas gracias :). Como lo mio no es el inglés, no sabía si estaba explicando el "derecheo del histograma" o como hacer magdalenas ;)

Good job. And the world does seem a little crazy right now.

This sounds so technical, but you have reminded to to try some high ISO one day.

@joansmor thank you very much. I hope someday things get fine. :)

@yaorenliu thank you very much. Not really. It is simply to get ISO your ally not your enemy ;)
