Don't skimp on ISO or shutter speed

[Deezey]

I have gotten a few keepers with the ISO up all the way around 6400 on the D610. Processed in Dfine 2 of course.

Also my take on noise is that I really don't mind it much. I tend to shoot a higher ISO just to help get the shutter speed up a bit more than most. But that is just how I like to shoot. If my higher ISO creates a little more noise, so be it.

I'll let my ISO go as high as it needs to in order to keep everything else where I want it; shutter speed for sharpness or motion blur and aperture for the depth of field I want, since neither of those can be fixed in post'. Well, that's not entirely true I suppose... But digital "noise" from a high ISO? Photoshop cleans up noise so well, and so easily, it doesn't even enter into the equation.

A good article on ISO in digital cameras. The Truth About Digital ISO | DigitalPhotoPro.com It is important to remember that increased noise isn't the only thing that can degrade images at high ISO. Like many others have said, use what you need to for the situation. Just be aware of the possible impact to the image.
