I shoot earlier at 1600 ISO and the photos are more than fine. Better for me to have high shutter speeds and a large depth of field. Plus I like a little grain and character.

Shooting Into Light
Looks pretty cool if the scene is right and you can silhouette your subject. Wish I could’ve gotten the middle kids face profile in the sand. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out.
