52frames had a high ISO challenge. Someone in the 52frames community said that the modern cameras handle ISO quite fine, so I took my trusty old Lumix GF1 and maxed out the ISO. I know that that camera starts showing ISO grain at ISO 800, so I maxed it to 3200. I played a bit in Darktable and got these two photos I find interesting. They are photographically maybe "wrong" - too much noise, wrong contrast completely, shades in all the wrong places. But I like them for the challenge.

 

The left one is widely open, F/2.5 and fast, 1/1000, and the other at F11, 1/60s.
