Many months since last posting here due to a worn out arthritic hip reducing my ability to walk more than a few yards. I now have a new hip and a new camera and am raring to go.
Today was overcast and dark so I decided to take my newly acquired 5D Mk4 to the local broad (lake) to assess the high ISO performance. I set the shutter speed to 1/1600, the aperture was f8 and I used auto ISO + exposure compensation giving an ISO of 12800. A very obliging duck allowed me to take his picture. The file was processed in LR and PS6. Exposure was well to the right so I was able to bring back the exposure slider about a stop. A small amount of noise reduction and sharpening was applied. I am well pleased with the result of the image at this ISO setting but would value the advice and comments of some of the more expert members. PS It is not my intention to use such high ISO settings as a general rule
