Pushing The Limit

This was accidentally taken at ISO 25600, I'm surprised it turned out at all!

At 1/6000 I am surprised there isn't more detail but ... if that's an accidental shot then I would like a few.

High ISO in good light can be very effective - definitely worth considering for increasing the shutter speed when required. Noise is much less of a problem, but a lot of dynamic range will be lost, so tones can look a bit compressed.

Did you accidentally turn the ISO priority setting when you'd intended turning the shutter speed setting?

I've done that once or twice myself. Turned up the ISO thinking I was upping the shutter speed. It's something I've (just about) learned to watch out for on the K10D an K20D Kentax dials.

The shot I took, of a kid on a skateboard, was ok quality-wise but I binned it as the composition wasn't good.

Similar I was in Auto ISO and shutter priority to give me hand holdable shutter speed and must have cranked up the shutter speed by mistake and it was way overexposed as well!

I must admit that I would have deleted it in camera if it were not for my workflow of renaming and renumbering sequentially for each camera body so I know how many shutter actuations there has been on each body.

You're very much more organised than me! I have no idea how many shutter actuations there have been on any of my cameras.

I'm only an amateur hobbyist, do nothing professional so I don't worry too much about whether or not a camera might die on me. If that happened I'd probably just swop it for one of my husband's when wasn't looking
