I haven't read this entire thread, but I find your shot the crane to be a very interesting and attractive photograph. The noise doesn't bother me anymore than grain used to bother me. It's part and parcel of high ISO photography. (Although I think that with a bit more exposure (which may not have been feasible), the K20D can do better at this ISO.) In any case, I like the photo. Nice work. Paul On Aug 29, 2008, at 7:45 PM, Ken Waller wrote:
