>>You know how it is, usual story. It's after midnight, you're in an 18th
century bar in New Orleans lit by candle light, you're on your 4th Abita
Amber, and you discover your camera can shoot at 25,600iso!

 

First image is an underexposed 1800iso shot, second image is 25,600iso. This
is just a test, made by a drunken photog. All technical facts were harmed
during the process.

Hi Chris,

Now when the hang-over clears and you really want to find out how good  a
shot or scene looks at "25,600iso" just pop down to the main part of town
and shoot away. You'll be very pleasantly surprised. Far more surprised than
what these two frames show.

These are interesting, but shooting outside downtown streets and traffic is
quite amazing and damn good fun. 

Quite frankly there's nothing like using digital and night scenes of cities.

And a passing thing for the unwashed non-believers? 

Don't bring up any techie crap until you've actually put the effort into
shooting some night time scenics. :-)
