I have an issue regarding editing to reduce noise, i've done that on LR but it seem didn't quite okay in my eye.<br>

is there any advice or how to reduce the noise? or is this seem okay to you?<br>

i'm using Sony A65 with lens 75-300 , ISO 1600</p><div></div>

<p>Not sure what Sony offers in F1.4 or 1.8 lenses (primes), but they would be better....and allowing you to reduce the ISO's/noise. Both, Nikon and Canon offer several lenses up to F2.0, that could be used in those sorts of difficult situations. Worst case scenario: rent a lens, but that could be difficult since most rental outfits don't rent Sony lenses.</p>

<p>Ideally, as a wedding photographer, one would have a second camera, which would have such lens on it and dealing with low light situations. Also, you could use a special lens adapter....allowing you to use a <em>fast</em> lens from other manufactures. Yes, you may have to use the lens in manual, but your photo output would require less manipulation or inherited issues.</p>

<p>The image may have some noise, but the more you manipulate (pull shadows & enhance contrast, enlarge it, etc) the photo, the more evident it will become. Hmmm, sometimes one has to employ noise-reduction software.</p>

<p>I would not worry about the noise which is not really objectionable at this magnification (in fact, I had a hard time seeing any of importance). I would work on getting the contrast and brightness right first (the image looks very dull to me), then check the noise in the final result and keep in mind that (1) at a normal viewing distance and resolution, typical noise levels make very little difference and (2) excessive noise reduction will degrade the fine detail in the image (for example, in the bride's hair).</p>

<p>A quick fix. Like five minutes quick in LR.<br>

WB:<br>

Temp: -13<br>

Tint: -25<br>

TONE: (top to bottom)<br>

+.10, +14, +15, +32, +19, +72<br>

<br />Clarity: -8<br>

Sharpening: 19, 1.3, 59<br>

Noise reduction: 45, 62, 0, 0<br>

Profile correction: LR picked up Sony DT 18-200 3.5-6.3</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks All</p>

<p>Underexposure with a magenta cast. Can be fixed in post.<br>

That lens is definitely not the tool for a dark venue with no flash. Wedding photography really demands the proper gear for any situation. And backup.</p>

<p>Needs a little rotation too.</p>
