I posted a shot here a while back - Bette's Diner - in which I shot so far to the right to the right that I literally had to paint in some highlight details, yet the darker areas of the photo were still very noisy. This may have been the result of having to shoot @ 1600 ISO, but, as has been said, that area in Zones 1,2,and 3 were a bit of a mess. Maybe using noise reduction software is a solution.
