Fish Tank at ISO 3200 from Thomas Fitzgerald on Vimeo.

I was in my families house on Christmas day and my sister has this amazing fish tank. I had my 5D with me but no tripod and I only had the one lens. Still, I’m really impressed with the way this came out. This was shot entirely hand held at ISO 3200. I was using the 24 to 105 so there was some stabilization. It wasn’t too wobbly, but I did use smoothcam on the first shot in FCP because it was a little too shaky, but the rest is straight out of the camera.

There’s some focus issues, because I was using it in low light with only the bare lcd to focus by. There’s also some diffraction off the glass and some flickering at the start because I didn’t have the shutter speed set to a multiple of 50. It’s not award winning by any stretch but still, it’s iso 3200, and there’s virtually no noise. I’m very impressed. Some of my previous attempts at ISO 3200 were nothing but noise. I guess it depends a lot on the subject matter.
