The trick is not to underexpose the photograph.
noticed he still need to push half a stop.
Imagine he ETTR and pull back half or one stop... don't say iso 5000, iso 10,000 also no problem.

The new Canon 1D X (ok I know it's a different standard of camera) can shoot at iso 16,000 and I thought that guy was using it at 1600! That is how good it is!

Actually how much faster is CF compared to SD?

Yup, I read an article once which discussed about high ISO, noise and correct exposure. The trick is to get the best exposure at high ISO to achieve minimal noise and best quality.

let me share with you this Andy Rouse's test on the Canon 1DX

Please click on your own risk. Do not blame me if you change system

Andy Rouse 1D X

madafaka.. it's 16000 ISO is like my 800 ISO

best exposure as in the shutter speed and aperture? dont get u

4GB on D800 is like film days... 40 RAW only

Well its always good to shoot n check and adjust. some situations just happens once. but thats why always shoot n explore. so tonite, i will break my ISO wall ...

Correct exposure. Don't shoot under

yup, in fact, shoot slightly over. don't worry if your LCD show the highlight to be blown off. the details are still there trust me.
oh, we are talking about RAW files right?

if you were using JPEG files, then, err... shoot at automatic lah. ok edi

hmm.. so if in high ISO, then shoot correct exposure dont shoot under?

cuz if low ISO normally i will under expose it, so detail will retain more if not bright enough, rather than overexpose, details will be lost

btw smth pop-ed up my mind,
wanna ask u guys de opinion on the 16-85mm nikon, macam another nikon overpriced lens like their DX UWA? ._.

haiz last time day day got cheated by d600 LCD. looks like perfect expose.... but always have to +1/3 in post. So now +0.7 permanently on.

my D7000 oso, i already off the active D lighting everything liao, screen see no problem, when enter LR4 raw file, DAFFFFUuUUUUu SO DARK !

actually you can tell if you scroll to the histogram ... I always tell my partner scroll to it... now his photos all OK!

viewfinder to see the composition & framing

histogram to see the exposure

LCD to zoom in and see area of focused

actually i still duno how to see histogram ._. havta go learn d... will susah?

yea

will make your life easier

you can just ignore the RGB histogram though

make sure the graph is at the middle.. that's what i do

Tonight's discussion very educational

Try shooting strictly in jpeg, that way can train yourself to get the better exposure. Not to mention can cut down post processing work
