You're right, Howard. Actually Kyle took the photos at ISO 25600,  
according to the EXIF data. His site works fine for me but if you  
have a slow connection the photos will load slowly because of their  
larger size.

The photos are wonderful. The added noise only adds to the atmosphere  
of the scene. Kinda late night, Halloween spooky. Mostly due to the  
classic architecture of the homes and the passing cloud late night  
sky. The almost cartoon drawing of the house features is special. But  
Kyle is an artist. I have the same camera and same lens but can't  
make a photo look like that.

A very well done to Kyle.
