This is what started me thinking about the K-5 and low light cameras.
Went with friend to Treasure Island to take pics of San Francisco. I had
never been there before, but I had googled and found it had the best view of
SF. I wanted to do this at the Ft. Point NorCal meet, but practically no
one else did. Mainly bridge logistics.
Well, the view was FANTASTIC!
Only once I got there I discovered my quick release plate was not with me.
(Self-kick, self-kick, self-kick, self-curse, self-curse, self-curse,
self-lambast, self-not-speaking-to-self.)
So had to shoot without a tripod. Shot at 1600 ISO at 1/15. The only half
way decent shots I got was before it got completely dark. The rest have way
too much noise.

But the view was fantastic. Even with fog.
Nice even with the problems you mention... so - go back with a T-pod :-)
Marnie the akaless
(I will explain this once, then refer to it about two more times. When I
first came on the Net everyone was using handles. As a single woman,
younger, I also got hit on a fair amount in certain venues. So it seemed like a
good idea to have a handle. I went first with femaledeer then later with
doeadeer as an email address. I shortened it to Doe in my signature/tag line.
So for about 15 years in certain venues I was known as Doe. All that seems
silly now, so I am going to drop it here, where I have used my own name
anyway. I'll reserve it for people who actually know me by that handle. For a
few weeks I will be the akaless, then just Marnie.)
This was a fun read - but I bet soemone will want you to explain it
again, don't ya know
