Sweet barking cheese!

 

Yeah. On the new Leica d700 there are two settings beyond 3200 asa
"you're kidding" and "there be dragons". Walking around last night in
the dark I saw some nice clouds and thought "wonder if I could catch
them in a normal exposure" - so I ran the ISO up into uncharted
territories and made an exposure at 1/40th of a second at f 2.8 - these
are full sized images (six megs) so you can see the grain for yourself.
