Dense clouds, gusts of high wind and intermittent rain made photography challenging on Sanibel yesterday.
I had to increase the ISO setting to 10,000 to get a fast enough shutter speed.
Question: What is the highest ISO you feel comfortable using?
Ring-billed Gull Flying
Canon 5D3
Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS II
ISO: 10,000
Aperture: f/6.3
Shutter Speed: 1/2000
Manual Exposure
Hand Held
AI-Servo AF with the center AF sensor selected
AF Area Selection Mode: AF Point Expansion (4 points)
AI-Servo Case 2 ("Versatile Multipurpose")
Raw file processed in Lightroom 4
A significant increase in contrast needed (+69)
I was surprised that there wasn't more noise. In Lightroom I only needed to apply a luminance noise setting of 20 and a color noise setting of 35.
I used Photoshop CS6 to replace the grey background with a bit of blue.
