Took this shot of a toad this past weekend. I was more or less happy with composition, DOF, focus point etc. However, it was in the deep shadows and I had to bump the ISO up to 1600 to get a reasonable shutter speed (1/50 sed at f2.8). The result has grain as expected. Post processing I found I had to change the gamma curve for the green channel to favor the bright end while the other channels were fairly flat (must be an effect of the camera at higher ISO?). The question is: In your opinion, does the grain of higher ISO harm this image? Or, since I don't have one of the same subject at lower ISO, in general - should I say away from high ISO when lighting is low or go with flash? I would be interested in seeing other macros that were done with high ISO (i.e. with grain) - if you have any please attach to response.
