Fiddling around in Sydney NS

[Bambi]

Here for business but had a chance to do a little walk along the water tonight. I saw this giant fiddle and had to play

first the perspective shot (sorry for the noise,not sure what I did wrong here )


moving closer:

Liking the last 2 big time B...

Cool set!

What's the EXif data on that fiurst one and maybe we can figure where that noise came from?
Was it HDR Merge? If so that can bring a lot of noise.

[Iguanasan]

Really nice set. That's one heck of a fiddle.

Re: Noise. I'm thinking auto or aperture priority and it bumped up the ISO due to a cloudy day.

Neat! That is one huge fiddle. Sometimes I get the noise with cloudy day shots..too long of exposure but I don't know if that would be your case here. It may be the HDR program. Interested to find out.

thanks guys. This is the exif data:

Exposure: 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture: f/11.0
Focal Length: 55 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: -2 EV
Flash: No Flash

does that explain? it's not hdr

Nope. Not a clue in there at all!

What post processing did you do?

[Bambi]

just my normal-straighten, crop, boost contrast, unsharp, etc...I took another look at the RAW and it's very noisy. I'm checking out some of the other shots so see if they are less so.

My best guess here is that this is actually under-exposed a bit and that has caused 'colour noise'. If you look closely at the noise ... is it lots of multi coloured dots?

In Lightroom you can adjust the colour and luminence noise levels.

Sharpening this would have made it worse. This where learning to use layers would help you tremendously. Imagine this image layered on itself and you sharpen one of those layers and then only blend through the bits with no noise. In this case the sky would be less noisey.

okay that makes sense. so when can you do a tutorial on that?
