Cranking the ISO

A well respected photographer friend of mine commented on my Canon 2X Teleconverter post a couple days ago.  He reminded me that my modern camera can handle high ISO.  I knew this, but I am still reluctant to go higher than about 1250 or so.

The Washington National Cathedral gave me the opportunity to play around with higher ISOs.

I am glad I was "reminded" of my awesome camera!  Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten these photos!
