[QUOTE="J-see, post: 380792, member: 31330"] Yes high ISO introduces noise but noise isn't always terrible or restricting. When shooting high ISO the trick is to overexpose. I'm working on that now with these shots. When overexposed, much noise disappears when normalizing exposure and the rest can be corrected, if needed, by using masks or sharpen/blur locally. Those last shots are at 6400 and aren't that much noisier when processed than the 640 or 200 I did before. I have been pushing ISO down for long under the assumption more ISO = bad. It can be but not necessarily. It's amazing what the latest cams and software can do. I tried using a blanket but I have dogs and got pretty tired of removing backdrop hair in post. ;) [/QUOTE]
