Noise

Took this yesterday at Ladybower.

Lighting was not great so upped to Iso 400. Seems to be a lot of noise - and seems to be same level as when I had the D70.

Looks like Noise Ninja here I come

OOPS!!! That what comes from being rushed, had to go out in a hurry

jonH

difficult to see at that size - any chance of a section of it at 100%??

could just be haze

Love that reflection! Can you go back there for a closer shot? Looks a great location.  Very Happy

Yeh, looks ok to me at that size.

Location is lovely, but getting there at the right time for calm conditions is "hit and miss" for me, as I am either going past too early, or coming back too late - one of these days though ....... Would love to be there on a calm bright morning

Getting closer would mean putting longer lens on, which I did not have with me.

JON - it was hazy, which could be seen on the hills beyond

according to the info on flickr you shot at -4/3 ev - i know compensation isn't always reliably reported so could you confirm if or not you had any compensation dialled in?

i ask because if you have purposely under-exposed, then brightened the pic up in pp, this will increase noise dramatically.

you've shot f/20 again - i really can't emphasise enough about not shooting any narrower than f/16 - you'll not get any better dof due to diffraction Smile

i only ever go above f/11 if i purposely need a longer shutter time (i still don't have any nd filters) and you've obviously not needed that this time if you've been @ iso400

Jon

exposure comp diallled in to reduce the blown sky - and foreground brightened - think you have hit the nail on the head
Thanks for reminding me about dof, cannot think why I went to f20 on this one, have to admit that I was a little short of time and "rushing".

Many thanks

Dave, do you use nd grads? Far safer than underexposure as Jon says.

Have got one, but guess what, this particular day - not in the bag -

thanks

AEB can still be used - don't have to produce an HDR image from the results - layer blending is always an option

Jon - believe it or not, layer blending is what I ended up doing on the Glyderau images, but using smart objects in CS3 - no need for two seperate exposures on the day.

And......what an idiot I am, fo I forgot about it, as I did a liitle tutorial on here
