Post your ISO 2500 Photos

Oops, here it is again bigger, also one I took the same night that has an incredibly limited tonal range. These were HP5, 7-hours in Rodinal, 8 mls Rodinal in 1000 mls water. 1/30 second, f4, 45mm Rokkor.

Iso ?

You can discuss the technical aspects until death do us part. For me it’s about having the image to make my judgment. Do you think any photo contest to judge a picture, the judges have conversations about whether the ISO in the candle is the same as the ISO in the dark. Bottom line you either like the posted photos or you don’t. I for one, see all of Tmfabian’s work outstanding. I’ve said many times in the M8 thread, one more example of the M8”s potential.

Thanks, and you're right...I even got a bit carried away with all the technobabble, I deleted all those silly posts because after all this is a thread about posting your pictures not about silly billy technical conversations.

I was just whacked out on all sorts of sealant chemicals since they're repairing a busted pipe in my place (nasty bathwater and who knows what else is leaking into my place from the person upstairs...ewww.)

Beautiful image by the way

Lots of great stuff. Am shooting a jazz concert tonight in a hall with terrible light, but at least I'll be close [on stage with the musicians, who seem to have accepted that I'm there, so long as I don't trip over any mike cables--a two year project now]. The following is from a couple of weeks ago. iso 2500 - 1 1/3 ev. This seems to be approaching the absolute limit for me. PP was to convert in CS3 after filtering color noise. in order to preserve the highlight areas, shadows are [big surprise] noisy. On the other hand, I was on top of these musicians, so supplementary light would really be out. I could use the healing brush on the hot spot on the top of one fellow's head, but didn't bother. It will go to about 8x8".

Cheers,
Norm
 
Whoops, lost the attachement. Here goes.

iso 2500-1 1 /13 EV. Reduced color noise in ACR, then converted to B&W, also in ACR. Levels, increased brightness and contrast somewhat in CS3.
 
Yikes, I was going to say, I see banding in Gabriel's shot with the laptop and some of the others....though I know that jpg compression does not do these images justice, for it to pop out like this means there is some sort of banding happening when you push the sensor to its limits, though it will not be so noticeable as for instance....my canon 20D.
 
I think this is quite interesting, the high iso black and white shots, I use my GRD a lot like this and have got some very interesting results so its neat to see what the M8 is doing in this regard. Lets have some more images!
 
I hope you dont mind a shot of Rd1

underexposed -4 stops by mistake at iso 400. so it means pushed 4 stops so iso became 6400. It is something different with digital sensors which you can push a lot when it is underexposed. It is just amazing for me.

I love gritty look after all 🙂 I loath a lot of clean shots of Canon 😉

the current shot is for you, tmfabian 😀

it is iso 12500 (iso 800 pushed 4 stops).. both shots are processed with ACR.

Like it even more. I remember there was dark when I did that shot, hehe

ooh la la.
The more I see from the RD-1 the more I'm considering getting one as a backup/2nd body. Besides...it'd be cool to use an advance lever on a digital camera.
 
Hmmm, still scratching my head trying to find a way not to make the 2500 look so noisy. This one turned out ok, but I don't really know why.

Try using the color noise reduction...all those little color specks down in the shadows will go away nicely.
though I have to say that image is lacking significant noise and is mighty purdy.
 
Thanks.

Actually, it would have been better at a lower ISO. At 2500 I had to push the shutter to 1/8000, so the fan appears to be off, even if it's at full throttle.
