I shot this with my Nikon D800E.
Its a flame from a woodfire with no available light except the fire itself.
1/8000th of a second, Nikor 24-70mm at 40mm F2.8, ISO6400.

I shoot with this camera comfortably at ISO6400 and it can be pushed to ISO12800 with some care possibly 25600 with some
noise reduction processing. I never use the flash. It turns dim to dark scenes into bright scenes. Amazing.
