I had my T2i from a shoot earlier in the day and thought it would be nice to shoot a bit to test out the quality of the high ISO (I generally try to stay under 800 to keep away from the noise). There is a point with noise and you need to embrace it instead of avoid it. Stop trying to hide it with filters and even up the gain to make it more noisy. So I shot Kyle first at ISO 3200 F5.0 and then AYGAMG at ISO 6400 F5.0. Here are the results:

Rather suprised how I didn’t get distracted by the noise. Good audio makes it worthwhile, which was a mix of board feed and stereo room audio recorded on a Zooom H4N in 4CH mode. I did up the mids, brights, and a little saturation. Overall I’m pretty impressed. What do you think?

Our documentary, Welcome to Daytrotter has a long time to go before its screening but we’re posting moments called Raw Footage that inspire us to continue filming and editing. We caught Local Natives in studio playing a catchy and cinematic song Wide Eyes. Again Dan Welk and I caught it all on Canon DSLRs and Lisa caught the sound in the room on the H4N. I synced it with Plualeyes and edited in Final Cut.  No color correction or audio sweetening. Honestly its hard to tell the difference between what we got and the recording that is posted on daytrotter here. Both are beautiful and elegant.
