Actually, one has almost a greenish yellow to my eyes on my calibrated-but-not-as-recently-as-it-should. Looks fine, really, since it's subtle, but not as reddish a yellow as I presume you were going for>

Well i hope these are better:

Last pictures from my k200d before https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-dslr-discussion/91847-pentax-k200d...-problems.html happened

All taken with the M 50mm F/1.7 wideopen and ISO 1600 pushed.

(normal "technically correct" shot)

(street photography)

(B&W mode in camera...)

Edit: note - im going for a grainy look

A couple more

yeatzee, the two portraits from the first series are really good.

Do you use noise reduction software? My photos go to crap at ISO 800 on my K200D.

no, infact im trying to get as much noise as physically possible. These were all underexposed and everything.

for some, Noise is the devil.

anyway,IMO when it comes to black and white effect, NOISE is pleasant while clean images are dull and ugly.

If you want more noise.. go out night shooting.

Well it was night when I took the shots, just we were inside (still not very well lit though)

That is a good one! We can make a hierarchy, from ISO 100 all the way up the scale, with the most God-fearing shooting exclusively at ISO 100, the agnostics somewhere in the middle (ISO 800, camera-dependent of course) and the heathens out on the fringes of ISO 6400.

[yeatzee]

what about those of us who physically can't go past ISO 1600

I haven't posted much of late. I had some free time today and managed a few images with the 400MM.

EXCELLENT Tom!

You shoot underexposed at 1600 and push in PP. That's all the higher ISO's are on other cameras anyhow - they just do it in firmware.

Thanks Jay.

Beautiful day here in Waterloo. Stole an hour or so to see what I could see. Once again the Chickadee's played along.

Tom, I must firmly request that you stop posting these images. I am going into a severe depression because of them. They are way too good.
