I pushed my R6 to the limit

I walked into the venue for the welcome dinner.. And I knew it was going to be dark.. But I didn’t think it would be THIS DARK! 

Dark Welcome Dinner

And no flash allowed!? I had to push my camera to the EXTREME to make this work!

We’re talking about ISO cranked to 40,000!! 

The R6 is supposed to have amazing high ISO capabilities but I never thought I would find myself in a situation where I would have to put it to the test!

 

In this new Youtube Episode, I’m sharing how I managed to deliver a gallery of mostly candid images to my clients from their welcome dinner that was pretty much shot in the DARK because no flash was allowed!!!
