carving at each cross walk in, you guessed it, the Cultural District.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve never noticed these, I always see the Penn Avenue (the road that cuts through the Cultural District) carvings but never these&#8230;\u00a0 I&#8217;m sure they were there, proof that you see something new each time you visit the same spot.<\/p>\n<p>At first I was playing with capturing light trails but because there is a light at each intersection and it was early enough that cars were lining up on all sides the test shots all came out looking rather messy.\u00a0 This would be a great spot late at night when a car can catch a green light going each way, allowing me to merge multiple photos into one that looks like fast-moving traffic &#8211; thanks Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, I used ISO 6400 to capture this shot and I&#8217;m thankful that the camera handled it with minimal noise (I actually added a little in post-processing).<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-separator type-thin\"><\/div>\n<p>I\u2019m really enjoying pushing the cameras low light capabilities, it\u2019s made me much more confident to shoot at higher ISO.\u00a0 I can remember not too long ago when I would cringe at the thought of shooting at anything higher than an ISO of 1000.\u00a0 Now I feel as though I can confidently shoot up to ISO 6400 and still walk away with usable images.<\/p>\n<p><em>*This is where the age-old argument of \u201cgear doesn\u2019t matter\u201d falls flat on its face\u2026\u00a0 Not all cameras are created equal and some will do well at high ISO while some will look terrible.\u00a0 This doesn\u2019t mean you have to spend a ton of money to get good quality.\u00a0 In fact, Leica is terrible at high ISO\u2019s and those cameras cost $4-9k (the new M240 is acceptable but as soon as you start to pull detail from shadows at high ISO you\u2019ll get some ugly-looking patterns out of the shadows).\u00a0 The shot in this article was taken with the Fujifilm X100T.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISO 6400 Street Photography is, you guessed it, photographs taken with ISO 6400\u2026\u00a0 There is something exciting about being able to continue shooting in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1435,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[143],"tags":[389,149,388,218,169,214,128,34],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/JMB_0525.jpg?fit=1400%2C932&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5xbS3-n6","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1432"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1432"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1432\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1437,"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1432\/revisions\/1437"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decisiveshot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
