ron_brown6 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'm not a pro by any means, but I can see all of the noise in this shot, and several other shots, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I had to use my 35mm lens because of the very limited space we were shooting in. I have it set at f8.0, ISO 200, 1/125th. with an Alien Bee strobe. I can't remember if I was using a shoot through umbrella, or a silver foil faced one. But I do know that I can see tons of digital noise on several photos. I also cropped this photo to focus on my model. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisibleflash Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 looks ok to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron_brown6 Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 When I enlarge it to 100% you can really see it. Especially on her right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen_S Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Excuse me, I am not sure, what we are supposed to be talking about. I am looking at a 6MP image, when I click what you posted here. Are those native pixels? - If not could you please post an 1:1 crop showing an extreme area with the noise? In case I am meant to see noise here, I could guess there might be some between models right elbow and her body on the shadow area of the roof behind her. If that is meant to be the topic; You underexposed that shadow area; i.e. you shot at the wrong time of day, for that location, since the background might require HDR to meet your standards. Disclaimer: I am not professional in that field. If you showed only a quarter or half of your captred pixels here, keep in mind that I used brute force to imagine a noisy area in your attached image.

paddler4 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I don't see it. The well exposed and bright areas (sky, fence, etc.) look very smooth at this reduced resolution. The roof looks a little grainy, but that could be the surface of the shingles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_farmer Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Even at 100%, I don't see what you are talking about. The roof doesn't look noisy to me. Her makeup isn't completely smooth which makes it look like there is some artifacting on her cheek but I don't think that is a problem OR noise. Is she a chemist?

royfisher Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If this is what you are referring to ... ... I think it looks like some type of interpolation artifacting, possibly from JPEG compression, image resampling, processing of 8-bit data, or somesuch. It appears to have a "structure" (it sort of resembles a QR code), so I wouldn't necessarily call it noise. It is plainly visible in the painted railing. If there is a raw file, does it have the same patterns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_farmer Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 THAT isn't noise . . . That's some combination of post processing, poor resizing, over sharpening, improper sharpening, compression . . . Something in there . . . You indicate that you have cropped this image and you could have problems there. We can tell far more from the original but I don't think that this is terribly bad at normal viewing sizes and resolutions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
