I'm a neophyte at best when it comes to photography, but using an ISO of 1600 with a slow-ish shutter speed is just asking for blurry vapor-trailed images in my limited experience. Then again, I only recently (umm, within the last 7 years or so) put away my old Minolta 35mm (it was new in 1983) and upgraded to digital. The fun, but exasperating part is being able to cherry pick a single image from dozens or hundreds. Back in the day, you got 16 or 32 chances for a good shot per roll of film, and then you didn't know the outcome until much later. It was the wasting of so much film (in truth, my non-artistic eye) that finally drove me away from photography. And it was the abundance of memory cards that brought me back, then drove me mad... So now I enjoy letting the professionals capture the images, while I let those images speak to me. Or ignore me.
