Wow i see absolutely no noise.. What camera did you shoot that with?

TWiTCHY · 03-24-2009, 06:25 PM

but where's the EXIF info?

Cyruz · 03-24-2009, 09:37 PM

probably tripod and a low iso, like 100-200 for longer exposure to knock down on the noise. or maybe software like noise ninja?

Okay, I cheated guys. I used an XTi but I kept the noise low or near non-existant since it was on a tripod for 30 seconds so a 100 and 200 ISO speed was used.

Other than white balancing correction in RAW, there was no post processing. Speaking of noise ninja, I have always hated most noise reduction programs. Even when I have to shoot in 1600 ISO, I would rather have the grainy look than the muddy look of a noise reduction program.

1.

Exposure: 2
Aperture: f/8.0
Focal Length: 26 mm
ISO Speed: 100

2.

Exposure: 30
Aperture: f/7.1
Focal Length: 17 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off

3.

Exposure: 30
Aperture: f/7.1
Focal Length: 34 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off

Thanks. I was just messing around about "Cheating" because some on here probably thought I shot it handheld with a noise-free camera like a 5DMk2 or D3
