yeah, I was taking some shots of horses jumping on an indoor ring again this weekend, I handed my 7D off to someone to play with while i tryed to get the important shots with the 5DII I just can't get the 7D high enough to get fast shutter speeds indoors without popping the flash, and i don't want to spook the horses. The end result is a bunch of blurs going over fences.

I did shoot some around 2500 with the 5D, but it starts bugging me too much at that point, but again, it's one of those things, how big does the picture really need to be before i realize how little noise there really is at those levels.

I proved that point to a buddy of mine who shot his 60D at 1600ISO by printing a 5x7 photo, and it came out perfectly without processing of any sort, he's now no longer worried about the way they come out on TV.

I'm viewing my ISO 6400 5D2 shots at 47" 1080p (from several feet) and 24.1" 1920p (up close) with no issues at all. A 5"x7" should be a piece of cake. Same for the 7D for everything up to ISO 800 with some successful shots at ISO 1600.

I haven't quite figured out when the 7D works at 7D works at ISO 1600 and when it doesn't, but the failures are nasty. They're not just noisy, but the detail dissappears and some are almost cartoonish or like someone painted with a broad brush. On the bad shots, there's lots of contrast and the middle and dark areas get really messy, even with +1EV.

I took your turtle picture and i played with some of the curves on it out of curiosity, do you mind if i post the adjusted one back up?
I don't mind at all.

I tryed to clear the water mostly without losing too much colour, and then tryed to give it a bit more colour and depth...

that's the best i could do though. I'm betting some of the other members can do a much much better job then me.

6400ISO captured in raw, converted to JPEG with DxO and i let it control everything, i didn't make any adjustments other then the auto correction which the program did itself

and the moon looks like that because there was a haze over it.

and i shrunk the file using the paint program that comes with windows, for some reason when i shrunk it with DxO, it became really noisy and made no sense

Looks good. I'm sure with more practice I could get things looking better. Either way, it's way better than the un-edited original which was a flat greenish blue color with no depth at all to it. Cloudy water makes for some harsh shooting conditions.

Good effort.

I didn't realize that you use DxO. I love it. Under "Details" there's a "High ISO" setting that you might want to try. I prefer it for most high-ISO shots, but sometimes with certain shots, manual can be better.

i decided to give it a shot, i've seen some pretty high praises of it, so i thought i'd try it. I've gone through quite a few programs, and so far this is the one i'm enjoying the most.

normally i take my pictures in raw and JPEG so that i can use them as index's so i know what each CR2 file is, but with the DxO, there really isn't much point because it handles everything so well on it's own.

I'll check out the "high-ISO" feature, didn't know it was in there.

I Just have to find a program that adds water marks to all my pictures smoothly and easily. Or figure out if DxO will handle that somehow.

Ask at the DxO Forums. I don't have one, but seems like I remember something about a third-party add-in that worked.
