A "quieter" chaffinch

[Fangman]

I followed Robert's advice and experimented with under exposing when using high iso settings on the 350D. Noise at iso 400+ has bee a major problem. This is at iso 1600 and well sharpened to expose noise before a quick auto fix with neatimage on =1/3 stop exposure. The little fella just sat there and let me take a range of different iso settings for once. From RAW and no other post processing.

great effort! Looks the business!

Now then, anyone got similar advice for Nikons? I have just been trying to get the robin splashing around in the bird bath...in fading light :bang:

This at my usual iso 200 setting but a + full stop over exposed. Same sharpening but no noise reduction. From RAW - curves - sharpen - crop and resize for web.

Lovely shot, but that background is FAR from quiet, louder than 80's dayglo!

Do you mind - I put hours of work on that lawn! It is amazing how the green shows when out of focus - must try selectively desaturating the green
