A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

So I just took this image a few minutes ago and oh boy this is so noisy I don't even want to look at it. I took it with my R10 at a 3200 ISO, 1/1000 shutter speed and f/8. I know the R10 is probably not the best low-light camera but I didnt expect it to be that bad. I must be doing something wrong. I saw a video on Youtube by some guy showing the camera's low-light capabilities and there was no noise at ISO 6400 (unprocessed image).

Can't see the pic lol. Put it on imgur or change the sharing settings to "anyone that has the link"

you should be able to see it now, sorry lol

Oh it's a bird! Those settings make sense then.

My crusty old brain sees that grain level as acceptable and normal. I've seen enough film to just expect it. It should take pretty well to noise reduction though if you feel the need to remove some fizz.

Sorry, I’m not signing into my Google account to see the image. Anything can be a scam. Post the picture here
