I went to Mallala hoping that i would come back with some decent pics....however i didnt notice that ISO was on 1000 until it was too late :evil: :evil: :evil:

Reading some of the previous post, i said that it probably wouldnt happen to me.....Wrong!

Anywho, here is one that turned out o-k-a-y-i-s-h :?

Comments/critisism welcome :D

BlackWater - I really like this shot - unusual angle and action - but it does give me vertigo :) (or car sickness :wink: )

Thanks Rel, i found it was easier to pan with the camera on that angle.

BW, i have done this many a time, and well i cant say it wont happen again but i think you got a great shot there so it made up for it.
Well done.

I've messed up the ISO like that quite a few times. lol
Didnt seem to mess your shot here up at all though. Looks great :)

Is there a way to get rid of the graininess using PS?? Becuase some of the other shots look quite good but are ruined becuase of that :cry:

I keep hearing mention of a program called noiseninja but I've yet to find a really effective method of removing noise in photshop itself.

Cool shot . BW .

Not sure if the Nikon is the same but its a bug bear i have with my cam along with all canon digis is that i wish they put the ISO on permanant display on the readout on the top of the cam like a film SLR so that its in your face all the time .

Thanks Tony, Yeah you have to press the ISO button to actually see whats its on :? I think it would be great if it displayed it in the viewfinder along with the others (Shutter spd, Aperture etc)

It wasent until i was on the way back to Adelaide looking at the EXIF....ISO 1000 !!!! :evil: :shock: :cry:

Good capture and timing Min. I think the perspective enhances the concept of drifting :)
I use noiseninja when i need to and it's very good I think one of the best around.
cheers

Cheers Marco
Even though most of the pics didnt turn out as i hoped, it was a good chance for me to work on my panning technique...practice does make perfect :D

Blackwater - having a high iso is not a problem at all if the exposure is correct and it would appear to be so in this very nice pic :)

I use Neat Image, which is a plug-in used from Photoshop....and I find it works great.

Sometimes if it smoothes the detail too much (and I cannot be bothered playing around with customising all the settings), I add a duplicate layer, then run Neat Image, then vary the opacity until it gives me the result I like the most...

I haven't used Noise Ninja to compare, though I have heard it is a great package... BTW..nice photo. This should have been a Challenge 7 Entry !

Thanks Dave, il try that out. I didnt enter the picture because when it is enlarged, the graininess is quite visible :cry:
