Yeah, the mirrorless cameras are crazy with the ISO, it's weird. I saw a chart somewhere on it. It was, and still is a learning curve for me. My studio lights weren't firing off, so I was just using the model light and put it on to Auto ISO. At the lower and higher ranges the noise is minimal.

This was a close 2nd for me to enter. I was actually shooting for the "curves" challenge and Monty (the python) just delivered!
