Speaking of high ISO, if you go to the following page, the first
image shows what happens when I leave my reading chair for more than
a heartbeat. Note the guilt on the dog's face, and the "attitude" on
the cat's. Nykon D3, 24-70 at 70, 1/50 @ f/8, ISO 3200. It's a small
pic so you can't see the details, but there's no noise reduction at
all applied. In the 100% view, the cat shows more noise than the dog.
If I were going to make a print, I'd likely mess with a little noise
reduction. Either that, or use Genuine Fractals to apply some nice
film-type grain.
