I agree with everyone that it is a very nice photo just in itself. > On Nov 28, 2021, at 3:03 PM, Rick Womer <rickpic...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It’s a nice shot! Noise wasn’t apparent until I zoomed in to 4x.
I didn’t pixel peep, but it’s showing up on my screen at about 10x13 and when I was shooting film I would have been thrilled to get a print that size that was that clean shooting my normal ISO 32-125. (Pan F, Pan X, Plus X). The performance of modern sensors boggles my mind. > > Out of curiosity I compared your shot with a few ISO 12800 shots taken with > my K-5.

I would guess the K-3iii to be 2-3 stops improvement, but you can only really compare cameras shooting the same scene in the same conditions with the same processing. I forget what your previous camera body was. K-10? But compared to anything older than the K-x the performance difference will be mindbending. I have found that in situations like this it is a good learning experience (in regards to the camera) to shoot the scene and bracket the ISO. With ISO invariance if you nominally underexpose it a few stops by using a lower ISO, you don’t blow out as many highlights, but when you process the raw files the shadows aren’t much, if any, noisier. I do this a lot when shooting astrolandscapes, and each camera is different. This is the aspect of modern photography that excites my inner nerd, finding and pushing the performance limits. I expect that with experimentation you may find that you’ll be able to handhold down at, or slower than 1/10 second, though may need to try a few frames to get a sharp one. Using a monopod, even back before my K-5 I found I could consistently get sharp at 1/10 to maybe 1/2 or 1 second. Since what I was photographing was people dancing, that was usually too slow to be useful. > > Rick > >> On Nov 28, 2021, at 9:41 AM, Corey Leopold <cleopol...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I decided to spend some time with the K3 III handheld at night to see what >> high ISO looks like.
