Technicalities aside, for a moment, that is a lovely creature!
Thanks, and thanks to everyone else who said they liked it. It's a ring
necked snake. Something I'd never knowingly seen before then. It was
surprisingly mellow once caught. Though when I took it off the chain for
my porch swing and put it on the ground, it did not dally before
crawling into the rocks.
And yes Ann, I did let it go.
I was sure you would - but someone might have decided it should be a pet.
Just such a beauty and that shot is just perfect - who cares about a
little noise?

And, yes surprisingly good result at that ISO and that is with K20D;
no champion in that regard at all.
It was with my K-5 II. I sold my K20 to get my first K-5.
The photo was shot in RAW. I will occasionally, if I need a jpeg before
I can get to a computer with lightroom, shoot RAW + JPEG, but to a first
approximation I never shot JPEG.
My results with ISO 10,000 are not always that good, but with proper
exposure they often are.

If I'm shooting in auto exposure mode it will almost always be TAv.
Unless
you're shooting a completely static scene on a good tripod, shutter
speed
will affect the way the photo looks. Unless everything in the scene is
beyond the hyperfocal distance and you are below a diffraction limiting
f-stop, aperture will affect the way a photo looks. In most cases,
the noise
or dynamic range from various ISOs will affect the image less, and
will have
a lower chance of causing a photo to be unusable, than either of the
other
two.
Yesterday morning, I took a few minutes out of cleaning up my yard to
photograph a snake I caught. I had never seen one like this, and
wanted to
post some photos to facebook which I often refer to as my "auto-bon",
because I can post pictures of wildlife, and they will automatically be
identified for me. After two people marked one of the photos as a
favorite
I was moving it into my monthly best-of and noticed that it was shot
at ISO
10,000.
I'll admit, that I had noticed a little noise in the background, but
with my
K20, any shot of the sky would show worse noise at ISO 800, possibly
400.
Welcome to the twenty first century where an ISO 10,000 photo might
look "a
little rough in the shadows".
