Taken sunday morning in a small snow blizzard. I have used 1600iso to get a reasonable shutter speed and after using neat image to reduce the noise I have decided to leave the noise alone as imo it adds to the image.

Canon EOS 1D MkII N
Canon 600mm prime supported on a bean bag by a prat lying in the snow!
1/1000 sec @ f4 iso 1600
Processed in C1 Pro and CS2

That prat has created a high impact and most unusual image. It just goes to show what you miss huddled up inside. I wonder if it would be even better with the snowline more level?

BTW I hate to think what that would look like with my Nikons at 1600 ASA! Grain the size of snowflakes probably...

Superb Kevin. The price we pay for good photos is looking like prats :biggrin:

1600ISO is still very useable in certain ircumstances

Great action, Kevin. The snowdrops are just great. Might suggest a little crop from top and left. :toast:
