ISO. How high is too high?

 

 Modern cameras have improved over their older brothers by a fair margin.  The old Kodak digital I used many moons ago was brilliant at 100 iso in the studio.  Bloody awful at 400 iso.  Later cameras were fine at 800 iso or 1600 iso, but the were starting to get noisy, and you couldnt go much higher.

 Last night mucking about I cranked up the iso on my Canon 5d4 for some band shots (well a duo really)  Now truth be told I didnt need to go near the iso I used.  I had three flashguns and video lights, and much faster lens I could have used.

 I could have even opened up the lens I was using from F7,1 to F2.8.  But it was the high iso I was testing.  So heres the result, horrible colured lighting, and fairly dark.  ISO 30.000.  No thats not 3200, it's 30.000.  Both cropped too.
