I had never taken any handheld shots at night using ISO 1600 before, so I tried it out on some foggy streetlight lit scenes. All photos taken with a Canon 350D and a Canon 16-35mm lens at f/2.8. The only post-work was using Noise ninja plug-in to smooth out the grain and Black & White Pro plug-in.

This was handheld at 1/4 sec. Any comments welcomed

I guess you answered your own question -- You bet you can! Those are all great shots. I get a sense of desolation, isloation, and a somber mood pervading. Thanks for sharing these dramatic images.

These were taken on christmas night

After being on the Piss Guv...My Hands shake so much...I lost 2 Diamond Rings Rings ...and a Filling...I recommend a Tripod ...just to hang on to! Cheers! clink

Love Your Rocket!!!!! Respect!!! salute

azy l have the canon 20 d and took my moon shot on iso 1600 also my christmas window series.. was taken on iso1600 no noise filter and no flash....cant remember the shutter speed off the top of my head... but l havnt had with what experiance of nightshots..any probs... think this out of the 3 posted in my gallery this is the least best..

P.s uploaded before finished.. love all three of those azy... but the top one rocks... fabalicious images...wtg !!!!!! even used iso 1600 in daylight hours for macro.. alot is made about noise but if you happen to capture noise in a shot.. can work for you if able to use some artistic flare and post work..

@ Teds LOL I got 3 bottles of vodka(good stuff too none of your cheap stuff) and 4 bottles of red wine for Xmas (my family know me too well)Cheers Guv Clink @ soulofharmony cool pic but what does "wtg" mean

wtg means Way To Go..!!!!!...theyre beautiful shots azy...!!!

and when doing a exposure check ((weighted metering etc etc )).. even in daylight been amazed at the iso reading of iso1600.. but it works a treat in broad day light often l use exposure compensation..either -1/3rd or 2/3rd depends of the glare of winter sunshine.. but often monotonic conditions.. ya know how it goes in the uk..!!!!..

Mmmmmm, Richard, those are some super Xmas presents! I got 4 different bottles of good liquor from my father-in-law to put in my "Bar Buddy" and a new alcohol dispenser shaped like an old gasoline pump. He knows me too well as well! ;] Anyway, I sure it helps keep a steady hand when taking night shots! =]

Oh I love that second shot, the one with the tree!!! Totally wicked!!!
