Would this work? After my initial shoot yesterday with my K-7, I have been really surprised about the noise in the shots. My brief required me to shoot the interior in only available light (although I did cheat and use a little bit of flash bounced into some of the shadows some time), and there is A LOT of noise in the dark (shadow) areas of the images. (I will post them later but can’t log into my ftp server right now for some reason, and I am sitting here on hold to the hosting company as I type this!).
So, my question is this – if I am shooting in RAW, it means that the HDR function does not work. Noise wasn’t a problem like this with the *istD, so I’ve never really thought about this in depth, but if I were to deliberately overexpose by one or even 2 stops (but not too much to completely blow out the highlights), and allow more light into the shadow areas, would this eliminate much of the noise in the darker portions of the pictures? Because I am shooting in RAW, it shouldn’t be that hard to adjust the curves/levels in the RAW converter to compensate so that is no problem, but NOISY pictures (especially for print magazines), certainly IS!
