I find it interesting that just as in film with grain, digital with noise has its little particles line up magically on areas of fine detail. Like this guy's shirt. It's like there is no noise there.  But noise really shows itself  in blank out of focus areas like the background. If you're looking. And I'm more looking at the subject of the picture, the guy and not the quality of the backdrop.
Seems like your body of work is shot at rock bottom ISO's Tina! And I'm glad to see you getting more out of your cameras. If a modern digital full frame or even cropped camera can't make a viable image at iso 6400 it's not worth the silicone its stamped out of would be my opinion.

    PESO:
    
    When I'm taking photos out of the window of the moving car, I find it's
    better to set the shutter speed at about 2000 so I'm shooting a lot of high
    ISO photos.  It's a gamble that sometimes works.  I like this one - even
    though there is a lot of noise at 6400, it's a film-grain-like noise to me:

    This is another one that works for me:

    What do you think?
