Pentax High ISO Gallery - post here

WalterGA · 08-01-2009, 10:30 AM

Some of you might not like the subject matter, but I think this is pretty good, as I had no support, other than an iron rail fence that surrounded the venue. Taken from about 100', el-cheapo Tamron 28-300 @ 1600ISO, 6.3 f, Ist Ds2 camera.

K20D
ISO: 3200
Expunere: 1/2 sec
Deschidere: 8.0

PENTAX K20D
ISO: 6400
Expunere: 1/4 sec
Deschidere: 8.0

These were both taken in Raw DNG, EV+1, then pulled back when converted to Jpeg.
I found (and it's sure I'm not the only one here) that compensating EV to +, will improove radically the results at high Iso

My favourite thread. I recently took some pictures in MNAC (National Museum of Catalan Art) in Barcelona.
as example, masterpiece of El Greco (pardon the watermark):
PENTAX K20D
ISO: 1100
Expunere: 1/30 sec
Deschidere: 2.8

Yesterday evening. 1600 ISO w.K200D, 50mm FA 1.4. Light was actualy quite good - even managed some 400 ISO shots.

So many great shots, that i almost feel i should'nt post my humble pet shot, but still, i think it shows very good how pentax preserves detail at high ISO.

Sweet shots. Amazing how good they look at such high iso and low shutter speeds.
I like the last one best. Gives very good mood of night city.

While we're on the topic of presidents

here's one casually walking by.

Pentax K-m/K2000, FA 50mm, F2.0, 1/30s, ISO 3200, no flash and a lot of NR in PP.

tarsus · 08-03-2009, 12:52 PM

Comedy show with lots of weird stage low lighting. WB adjustment worked well. K2000, ISO 1600, Pentax 50 1.4, manual.

Miserere · 08-04-2009, 07:47 AM

ISO1600 on the K10D.

dlacouture · 08-04-2009, 09:55 AM

K20d, 6400 iso, 50mm, f/2.8, 1/1250 (don't ask!), and 1/13, respectively...

Igilligan · 08-04-2009, 10:58 AM

K100d ISO 3200 tamron 28-75

ISO 6400 K20d A50-1.7 in the worst band lighting ever... I am not kidding there was not even one of the 4 100wt bulbs
even focused on the stage... Just shooting at the ceiling with some yellow & red gel... sad really

K20 3200 reflected mirror shot in the same crappy lighting as above
