ISO 6400

Okay all you shooters with D3's and Mark III's just an FYI, 6400 ISO is way too high and if you can't shoot at a decent shutter speed (over 1/500th at least) then what good is it anyway?? Seriously, blurry photos won't cut it here. We use flash to freeze the action, not just to light the field. Also we need to see faces, dark shadows in helmets and no separation between subject and background is another reason to throw a flash on there. Common sense here folks, and they're too noisy anyway. So suck it up guys, put on a flash or get your local high school to put in pro level lighting. Your choice. :) Rant over. Actually one more thing, noise reduction software is not a magic fix for underexposing and high ISO noise. It looks unnatural, creates digital artifacts and is just being way overused. If I can see the noise reduction in the images, then you've used too much. It wasn't meant to fix bad noise, just to clean up some noise in the background. now rant's over. :)
