Please share high ISO images

[froyd]

Please fuel some a nascent case of GAS and share some of your favorite high ISO (800 +) captured by any of the three R-D1 models.

Here we are, all of hem taken at last years L'anneu du rhin historic car racing meeting (Alsace, France) after race meeting in Eguisheim - a wonderful small medieval french village, by the way, always worth a couple of days to spent, just a couple of miles from Strasbourg.

All pictures taken with Jupiter 3 wide open at 1600 ISO, available light, no flash; portrait at evening hours (late April) indoors, candles and low room lights.

Cheers, Andreas

...and two shots from this years "apres racing" in Eguisheim - some new gear this year, not only in my beloved MGA sports car:

Eguisheim market place, taken with Epson RD1, CV 4.5/15, ISO 1600

Full moon at Eguisheim, Epson RD1 taken from hotel balcony with Leitz Hekor 135mm, ca. 1/60, 800 ISO, free hand, cropped

...and last not least my grandmother at her 90th birthday some days ago (end of may), indoors, late afternoon, available light, CV 1.5/40, wide open, ISO 800

Bottom line: It works, doesnt it - or are your expectations not fulfilled?

Thanks for sharing you beautiful shots. Of course, it's hard to judge from a computer screen and low-resolution jpg, but the picture of your grandma look eminently usable...plus it's a wonderful, lively portrait in and of itself.

Some of the 1600 shots seem to be straining the capability of the sensor, but maybe it's just the jpg artifacts. The first picture in particular seems to have weak shadow areas, even though the mood of the shoot comes through plenty clearly.

I shoot 400 speed film most of the time. I haven't touched anything 100 in ages, and while I have a few rolls of Portra 160, I'm always hankering for more speed rather than less, so I envision myself being in the 400-800 range most of the time with and R-d1, with occasional forays in 1600 territory.

PS- had a 1957 black MGA for a while...lots and lots of fun!

Just a couple. My favourite combination is 800 iso and cv 40/1.4

Cheers - John

 

[back alley]

john, that second shot is just great!!

 

[Johnmcd]

Thanks back alley 🙂

The 800 iso cv 40/1.4 is a killer combo in my opinion. It just keeps on coming up with the goods, whether it's a gig or a mum and bub. Even at 1600 surprising.

I don't know what it is but my 20D and E-P1 just don't produce that 'look'. I just bought a 7D with my girl - we'll see what it can do. For the record, it was bought for sport and movie making 🙂

I think your shot is a great example of how good 1600 can look if the exposure is spot on. This level of quality would be more than good enough for candid family shots indoor.

I saw your second shot before and I'm always in awe of it. Is there any post processing? I love the monochrome look spiked by the orange chairs!

With respect to 1600 ISO shots I agree. They need to be spot on. Very little latitude for shadow enhancement etc in PP. ISO 800 however does leave room for some adjustments.

Regarding the PP on the shot you mentioned. I desaturated all channels apart from red. Then used a selective brush to desaturate unwanted residue here and there.

EDIT: The reason I did this was that the building is newly put up on a part of the old Oslo airport. And to reflect this the architects have added rows of red lights on every floor symbolising the now removed end of runway warning lights, and red furniture to match. I visualised the final result when taking the picture.

Capture one is the main culprit i feel.
