Chris, I humbly submit my PAD from the other day as an example:

http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/4253606_kdsZ6C#1526215274_D245Sph-O-LB

Not great photography, but that is not the discussion here. The point is 
that it was taken at f2 and ISO 6400. I had no control over lighting, 
obviously. Of course in general it is preferable to have good light. But 
lots of interesting things happen in poor light, and I find it very 
liberating not to be limited by my equipment.

Cheers,
Nathan
