[Leica] IMG: Rainy Day Activities

[Jim Nichols]

Al, I've never made a particular note of that, but, looking at recent 
images and trying to recall how I processed them, I would speculate that 
3200 is fine and 6400 is usually ok.

Here is a 6400 shot that I feel sure did not have a noise problem.

I raised the upper limit to ISO 12800, left the living room lights off, and the drapes about half open.  Looking around, I decided on old glassware on a bookcase shelf, and a painting by my wife's late aunt.  I finished up with my usual LR and PS editing tools, including Focus Magic, Neat Image and the NIK suite.  I was pleased with the results and will leave the upper limit at 12800.
