Like i said before Raising ISO Above the lowest Setting is Degrading

I feel so dirty, I shot inside a building today where flash was not allowed at ISO 6400. Heaven help me I even went up to 12800 a few times.

this thread is degrading to knowledgeable photographers.

I really need something. The old truck had a big mean looking black winch carrier on the front. The new truck doesn't have anything yet but lots of chrome.

I didn't think anybody actually liked Necco wafers, those were the kind of candy you couldn't trade or give away on Halloween, or they just sat around and nobody ever ate them.

As far as this, um, topic... I read/skimmed thru the text, then looked at some of the video - which is where this came from, some of it almost word for word.

I looked at a couple more of the guy's videos and was going, what in the world is he talking about?? He seems to be either really deluded if he actually believes what's in his videos, or maybe he's just figured out if he posts ridiculously ludicrous videos he can get 100,000+ followers and money from Google ads and give out his Paypal info. (Do some of these people actually pay this guy? for what??)

I guess he is deluded, he scoffs at science and says he's the only person on planet Earth who really knows how that 19th century gadget works that's in the one video; but yet, Wikipedia knows what it is! Apparently do any kids in any science class. I'd hardly take photography advice from this Video Guy.

That is soooo wrong ... They're for playing Priest at Communion.

OK that took a minute...
Guess I thought we were back to sports. Or alien transmissions over cable TV.

I can't wait to see the faces on the clients when the OP says: sorry, I couldn't get any shots, I couldn't raise my ISO above the minimum.

I like black neco wafers, actually I like to drop half a sleeve at at time into my mouth, that way I don't have to decide. Deciding gives me the tics.

This is what photographers don't want you to know. The truth!

Back on the OP's post, this is an extreme crop from one today. ISO 12800, F/4, 1/80, hand held. This was shot in a museum type setting with "very subdued lighting", and no flash allowed. The letters were pale yellow, on a green background. Minimal recovery in LR. Is there noise??? Of course there is. Did I dilute the light? Don't think so. Is it an acceptable image given the alternative of no image? Again of course it is.

If you up the ISO when shooting black (licorice) Necco wafers, they end up turning 18% gray. That makes 'em handy for setting white balance!
