The Picture This! assignment for this month was High Sensitivity, pictures
taken at ISO 800 and beyond. Readers sent in a host of images that took advantage
of high-speed settings on their digital cameras and on high-speed film. At those
speeds images made in very low light become available, and many more "chances"
are taken with pictures that in the past might have been obscured through underexposure
or excessive grain. In addition, high ISO settings allow for more spontaneous
handheld shooting in many more lighting situations.
