A Look At Some ISO 3200 Images From A Canon 5D
I took some high ISO indoor shots at the weekend inside Walnford Grist Mill, near Allentown New Jersey. Light levels inside the mill were very low and although I did have my tripod to hand I made a decision to jack the speed right up to ISO 3200 and take some photographs handheld. You might be wondering why …..

At the back of my mind was an article I’d read a couple of days earlier by Alain Briot in which he photographed inside a canyon at ISO 3200 as there wasn’t enough space to use a tripod. Alain’s image was shot with an EOS 1Ds Mark II

I find your tutorials very interesting! I have been shooting analog so far but I’m going to purchase a digital slr. Over the years I’ve been shooting with iso 3200 film quite often because I don’t like using a flash. Of course the result is very grainy, which can be beautiful but not always. The 3200 pictures from your camera processed with Neat Image are simply incredible!

Neat Image is indeed a must have application for digital photographers!
It’s ability to batch jobs and auto select a noise reduction profile based on the images EXIF ISO data is great.
I have a Canon 350D which can only do ISO 1600 but with Neat Image I have hesitation whatsoever to use it when needed.

I too found this article very illuminating. Would you care to comment on Noise Ninja vs. Neat Image? Personally I was planning on getting Noise Ninja since I have read nothing but glowing reviews of its noise reduction capabilities, but to be frank I had never heard of Neat Image…

Canon chose to make the settings for ISO 50 and ISO 3200 an option that has to be enabled on the 5D before they are available for use. Do you know if there is a downside if that option is enabled all the time?

My mother and I were looking at pictures of Perranporth and saw yours. She grew up there in 1931-1945. She grew up in the old coast guard house. Her name was Patricia Everitt. We wondered if you knew any of her family. Her brother lives in Bristol still and she lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Just thought we would ask. Heather

How do you think the new canon 1d mark III at iso 6400 compares?
