Nikon D3 at ISO 25,600!

This photo of downtown Springfield was taken in the dark at ISO 25,600 with my Nikon D3.
The only light available was that coming from the street. There is noise at 25,600 but it cleans up very easily.
I had avoided the highest ISO settings based on what I read. Not any more! Too much misinformation out there!

Nikon D3 ,AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR
1/40s f/4.0 at 32.0mm iso25600 full exif

What do you use (proessing wise) to clean up and make nice a ISO of 26,000? Good shot.

Judith Barnett		02-Apr-2012 17:19
Wow!

WOW! 25.600 ISO, my D90 only go's to 3200, that new EXPEED processor is in the D4... I wish I had one, O well... great capture Vern!

great to see you can hold the camera so still at 1/40 sec...lovely evening in town Vern

It is wonderful that the technology is here to allow you to shoot in the dark with this kind of result...very impressive!

Steve Thuman		27-Mar-2012 02:25
Very nice. When are you taking up shooting deep inside caves?

As a fellow 'night owl' shooter I must say that I'm very impressed by your image taken at such a high ISO. I've attempted, quite unsuccessfully, hi-ISO with my older D70 & D80 cameras with less than satisfactory results. Of course those two cameras pale by comparison to your D3 in raw performance alone. Nicely done!

Very well done. You sure spend a lot of time out and about in the dark! lol. Linda S

Really neat shot.

Jim Coffman		26-Mar-2012 20:34
Wow, amazing at that ISO...

Barry Ailetcher		26-Mar-2012 19:45
nice shot it also depends on who is holding the D3

Laura Milholland		26-Mar-2012 18:57
This is amazing, Vern. The clarity of the detail of the mural is fabulous, even at that ISO.

Lennart Waara		26-Mar-2012 17:27
Excellent photo and demonstration of possibilities! Great photo too!

Great result at 1/40sec.

Ruth Voorhis		26-Mar-2012 15:55
Impressive!

Clay Swatzell		26-Mar-2012 15:51
What great results. 20 years ago we never would have dreamed of such high ISO (ASA's) or these kind of results

Ed R		26-Mar-2012 15:47
Try that with film! Oh wait... what is film?

carabias		26-Mar-2012 15:38
And 1/40! It is spectacular, and very pretty. V

Jack Hoying		26-Mar-2012 15:37
Yes, it looks fine at that ISO! A real nice image

Syndee		26-Mar-2012 15:36
Very nice!

An intriguing scene with this lighting. Almost seems like the figures are animated. Amazing at 25,600iso.
