Re: PESO - Night Lights
Frank, I think you should try Noise Ninja. It would control the noise in this shot handily and not lose very much detail. It's not that expensive, IIRC. frank theriault wrote: Now that the CN Tower in Toronto has lost it's title as The World's Tallest Freestanding Structure (it's still The World's Tallest Freestanding Structure That's Fully Completed and Not at All Under Construction ), I guess they felt the need to spruce it up a bit with fancy lights: http://tinyurl.com/39wlgw http://bp0.blogger.com/_EaTEtfR4WJw/Rw4U4sA-__I/Ay0/oVr9HlKtzro/s1600-h/sept_4+008.jpg Nothing great, kind of a cliche, and, yes, a bit noisy (shot at 3200), but I've shot worse... ;-) cheers, frank -- Remember, it’s pillage then burn. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO - Night Lights
I like the colour and composition but the noise bothers me just a bit.

Re: PESO - Night Lights
I don't find the noise objectionable here. It's even and consistent.

Re: PESO - Night Lights
Really a shot like this cries for a tripod and low ISO setting to capture the lights and reflections with as much resolution and clarity as possible, IMO. The bottom left hand corner needs some attention I think. Tom C.

Re: PESO - Night Lights
Sure, on a 4x6 print it would be fine. But this is a shot BEGGING for a large print. I'm sure a noise filter of some kind would clean it up very nicely.

Re: PESO - Night Lights
Nice capture knarF. FWIW - I saw something similar done by a local photog (Monte Nagler) of the Detroit skyline. He shot a night shot also a day shot from the exact same location, with identical equipment. He then flipped (top to bottom) the night shot matched them, one above the other @ the water line - really spectacular. Your night shot sure is a candidate for that process.
