How high does iso have to go to ruin an image? well the dry season came to a sudden end today and gave me gloomy boring weather that i honestly would more often than not, not bother shooting in. but today i decided to have a test, after all its not like i need another hummingbird shot. so i maxed iso on my 6D which left me at f9, 1/3200 which is right in the ballpark of where i prefer to shoot. so let me ask you, is this ruined by noise?

Shot in SE Brazil, amongst lobster-claw heliconia #flowers the #spectacular swallow tailed hummingbird is one of the larger species of hummingbird, and is an example of a species that doesn't exhibit sexual dimorphism, that is, the female is every bit as dazzling and brightly colored as the male. This is because the color is down to structural coloration, the microstructure of the feathers filter and color the light, there is no pigment involved.
