how would i know that, being that i never seen any of your pictures to know what your trying to do, and if you say to freeze an image, you don't need high iso to freez an image that flag was shot at 1000 shutter speed at 100 iso ... :/

Once you've shot enough motorsports photography then maybe you'll know why. For now, I'm going to make some popcorn because this thread is getting good.

I've shot race cars at hudson speedway, never needed ever to go above 400 iso , using 5k shutter speeds, and some times been able to capture at 100 iso at 3k shutter speeds,
so why you have a problem at lower iso then you use, shooting motor sports i have no idea why

.........
I read it, and most Professional Photographers are taking these pictures for more then what you stated, i was not talking about people taking a picture of there cat to upload to facebook, a smart phone would be sufficient, why would you want to take a picture with a $1,000.00 + camera and $600.00 lens to create a 600X800 picture?...........

Um, where, exactly, did you specifically address pros using top-end gear in the OP?

I guess I was unaware that you were addressing a specific type of user creating specific images.

first off if you think your getting a good image shooting above 800 iso and i don't care what full frame camera you got, then your wrong.

maybe your thinking about old school, when you use film, then shooting higher iso was not so bad, people think the garbage they see in there digital pictures from a dslr camera is grain, guess what? it's not..
back in the film days when you bought a higher ASA raiting the film had lager dots on them which gave them a natural grain..
the dots your seeing in your digital images is noise and interference, its not a grain pattern in the same way that film is..
so if you got a nice full frame camera and a good quality lens and shooting at higher iso to achieve more light then your doing it in a way that causes you to lose good image quality that you could have had..

I can tell you why.
Because Narster Blostelnor hit the bullseye with his drizseldart.

Wow. I guess there's no real reason to shoot above ISO 800 then.

We've been doing it all wrong for the past 20 years.


We have now been educated.

Perhaps I should refund the money I collected from people who have paid me for the images I took using high ISOs.

What if I tell you people pay me thousand of dollars to shoot above 1600 ISO and they use the images to print 30x40 prints just fine? And that I also use the same images to print 30x40? Oh, I'm still shooting 35mm film regularly.

I need more salt in my popcorn!

then they are getting ripped off, and probably don't care about the image quality

then i would say quality to them doesn't matter or they don't know the difference..
I don't care how much money you get paid if your shooting at 1600 iso in a good lighting situation then your not giving the best quality prints that you could be.. So they are getting less quality images at the expense of your not doing your job and working around it..

if i do a wedding and shoot at 1600 iso and the customer notices the print has noise in it, what do i tell them ? sorry it was in a church low light and all, and i needed to crank up the light, :/ yeah ok.. weddings i never go above 200 iso ever.. i work around the light situation, that's what lighting is all about, light the are properly, don't introduce noise in a customers picture,

How can you even tell if you don't even use your camera meter?

Here's a little secret. I shoot 6400 ISO regularly too, and 12800 ISO once in a while also. OMG!!!

So whattaya do for a candle-light ceremony?

You do what other noobs do, you bring a giant flash and provide ugly flat light so you can maintain 100 ISO.

Oh man, I need more butter for my popcorn now!
