Take a look at the sky in this pic. (it's a processed PIF, so you can open it in photoshop if you want to see the exif info)
http://www.neovenator.com/special/__IGP0101.jpg I was doing some city shots of San Francisco from Treasure Island last night with my K10D. Lens was M* 300mm f4. ISO was 200, aperture was f8, exposure was ten seconds. The streaky noise in the sky in that shot will almost definitely be visible in a print. This worries me, because I was planning on recreating my San Francisco panorama from a couple years ago. I shot that thing with 20 second exposures but didn't get noise like this. Aside from wondering if perhaps something is wrong with the sensor (this is me jumping to conclusions, which I desperately try not to do), I'm wondering if perhaps shooting at a higher ISO and shorter exposure would produce better results. Any thoughts? John -- http://www.neovenator.com http://www.cafepress.com/neovenatorphoto -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
