Originally posted by Arne Bo A few pictures from the last events at the museum. I´m still unsure how to work in these lowlight situations. But it is a good training. I think i pp to aggressivly, but i´m not sure how to adjust correctly. Using 1:1 doesn´t seem to be the best idea with this kind of shots. I try to get rid of the noise but at some point it seems to be pointless, the pictures just get washed out.
First a few from the Taekwondo presentation at our Korean Festival.
The rest is from our Latin America Festival. (last one at ISO 5000 and was hard to work with for me)
I think they look good too and they are hard subjects to capture. I especially like the 1st one.
I don't think you need too be so aggressive with NR. A little noise is okay and it allows you to keep a little more detail. Further, I find that if the scene is exposed correctly then noise isn't such an issue. Just as a side, you can hide some noise by increasing the blacks a little. Not enough to make the image muddy but enough to hide a little noise. I do it all of the time with my concert photography.
I used that technique with this ISO 5000 photo because I wanted to keep the detail in the subject.
