still in dhaka but my thoughts are elsewhere...

This is a really great shot!still in dhaka but my thoughts are elsewhere...
Adam, nice!
I always shot the R-D1 @ ISO 800 and 1600 for that very reason.
I also pushed the ISO3200 further regularly to 3200/6400 in low light.
Ray, I never shot JPG, but shot RAW and developed in Lightroom.
With the huge advances in Lightroom from Lr2, that I used back then with the R-D1 to Lr4, the files should look a lot better now with high ISO settings.
… oh and Ray, great shot with a beautiful look ;-)
When you say iso 3200 and 6400, are you just doing as you would with film, underexposing at capture and then pushing it up in post?
I cant speak for others, but I generally shoot at ISO 1600 and push in LR. However, the R-D1 also can be set -2EV to +2EV, so you can shoot 3200 equivalent, essentially when utilizing those on the shutter dial
