An older one with the Nokia Lumia 930: ISO3200, F2.4 1/3 sec. I guess it can also classify as a modern camera :)

Bruno: The ships on empty sea floor are fine. Distribution, monochromatics.

The cat is nice, but you might try to shoot a graphically more pleasing picture of her...

The kitty and ships photos look like Rembrandt paintings. Very subtle and interesting lighting!

Thanks Frank. The cat picture is one of the first I took with the Lumia smartphone. I mostly wanted to check how it would do in low light. The cat was unusually cooperative and allowed me to take 2 pictures. I like the second better but it is full of banding noise ... and the cat has never been cooperative enough again :)

200k!

Imagine someone had told you 10 years ago.

I feel we should dig more into pushing the envelope.

Were are the new limits. Can we show something never seen before?

Lucky to get 1600 with film! Ilford XP was a revelation

Who will be the first one shooting the proverbial black cat in a coal cellar? :D

We do not know which ideas might work before we -- or someone else have them ... the black cat in the coal celler I have not seen yet.

Might be and interesting topic also because coal cellers become rarer with climate change.

Inspired by this thread I took my D750 out at night and used at least ISO 12800 handheld with the 45mm P lens. In the day the seaside is thronging with people and life, however take light away and suddenly the town is empty. Here are three 'empty seaside at night' photos.

I can feel the scene, I can smell the sea, I have been there, done that. Must get back to dover to see the sites on my old slides in real. Thank you Ian!
