Canon 50mm f/1.4 and ISO 1600 in a bar.

[RyanLilly]

Here are a few shots of some friends at work. We have live music in the bar once or twice a week and it is dark in there. The first two are of Eduardo are in much better light in the kitchen but still at ISO 1600. I have not done any post processing to these shots, just opened the raws in Aperture and saved to jpg, so just the default noise reduction and sharpening was applied. I wanted to show the combination of the 50mm 1.4 and ISO 1600 on its own. considering the long shutter speeds and shallow DOF I am happy that I have about 10% usable shots. Here are a few. Most are shot between 1.4 and 1.8. the two in the kitchen are @ f/2.

Oh sorry forgot to post it. Its a Canon 20D, I'm very happy with the quality thus far. At small print sizes I think they will look great, but I'll have to print a few larger sizes just to compare noise to see is some noise reduction software will be required.

Impressive, I wouldn't have guessed these were such high ISO.

You capture some interesting moments, I always enjoy pictures of people.
