D7000 at Hi2, AF-S 35/1.8 ED.  The overall rendition reminds me of the Kodacolor 1000, the then fastest consumer color negs released in the early 80s.

Panasonic GF5 at ISO 6400, Samyang 7.5/3.5 fisheye.  Panasonic is very efficient in surpressing the chrominance noise while leaving the luminance noise.

The Why: I see that everybody here tries to showcase what can be done at

-- base ISO
-- super sturdy tripod
-- multi thousand Euro special glass
-- MUP and remote control and EFC
-- stacking and HDR and panography

But in the time we examine this highly refined options that intrude into the 4x5 market segment when it comes to resolution and tones, the industry has made tools that make it possible to enter new photographic territory. Shoot in the dark, scan what your eyes can barely see and make it visible, explore the foremost unseen, like there mysterious shots:

1) What happens in the storage room with the lights turned off at night?
2) How to the towels feel in the dark bathroom at night?
3) self portrait in the light of a single blue LED, indicating the workings of our water cooker.
4) when I lie beside my daughter waiting until she is safe asleep chasing demons I wait and see a cloudy night at the edge of darkness...
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

I hope my violation to the rule is allowed: the exposure was raised by 0.5 step in CC2015.  D7000 set at Hi-2 (the highest ISO), AF-S35/1.8ED.

The image is pretty much Seurat-esque...

Hi2 shot, no PP done, straight export from LR. by Joergen Ramskov, on Flickr

I guess I should find a dark place and make another shot.

Almass. I am an explorer. I am a dolphin. I am easily bored. Boredom is the most fertile soil for creativity
