Very nice photos. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd be out there early too. I tend to stay up late at night and sleep in the following morning. Your persistence and effort are paying off. jak


Thanks Jake,
Remember there's a golden hour 1 hour before Sunset also!

Methinks that the fear of high ISO is overly emphasized. A well done but noisy image will beat a poorly done but "clean" image every time. (Of course a well composed clean image might (depending on the photog's previsualization) be ideal.

Every one is great! It demonstrates how digital technology is opening possibilities for us.

To get into the right spot early morning for "golden hour", you have to be there before the optimum light. Here area a few I captured before the light was golden, so I had to use a much higher ISO that I would have wanted. These really do show that the ability of our digital sensors can make images even in what many would consider non optimal situations.

The first three I just really liked the way the background was lit and took the shots and hoped I got "something". The last one was a capture that I just found so unique as the fish was "speared" rather than caught. Some post processing, but it was nothing that I would consider extreme. I hope you enjoy. As always, download for best images

Very very nice images at high ISO. Impressed with the 70-300 combined with the d7500. Thank you.

I’m so glad you posted these. It’ll give me the courage to push the ISO. I normally avoid anything over 800, of course my Rebel SL1 isn’t the quality of your Nikon but even so, I should be able to up it a bit!

With my body and lens combo, I really try to stay under 1600 ISO, obviously lower is better, but once again, sometimes the choice is:

A good image with some acceptable noise or no image with zero noise. To me, I shoot the best I can, and then with the limited PP ability I have, I get what I can and then move on. Pixels are so cheap these days....

I agree with you. It's more important to get the shot then worry too much about noise.

Haha. Of course it is not as clean as100 ISO!!! But the point of the post is you can get very acceptable images even with some noise. Obviously these could not be printed in a large format.....

Just showing that with new sensors, images can still be captured. Those of us without the ability to afford super fast glass can still get images that we can be proud of..... These are not meant to be used professionally
