Hi

[Jackie]

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum so appreciate all the help i can get.
I have a canon 50D and 400D and various lens's along with lots of other bits and pieces.

I have a passion for photography of all kinds and do not specialise in any field.

I am looking forward to contributing and receiving fair comments and critic.

I live in France but that does not mean i am French.

Hi; the 50D is a nice bit of kit.

[Jackie]

Yes it is but you do get some noise at high ISO.

I can't remember when I went above 200 iso; but I forgot to say welcome. So welcome.

[Jackie]

Thanks for the welcome.

They do say that the sun shines on the righteous so you probably don't need it any higher

"I live in France but that does not mean i am French."

This infers that the experience for you is not a pleasant one, and presumably because
of French people?

Therefore, there is a certain reluctance to say: 'Bonjour, Madame' (ou Monsieur?)

Lets just say that the French in my experience are not the most polite people in the world.

Hi Jackie,

Welcome to CiC.

You get high ISO noise with any camera, but it's usually not an issue with "real world" prints, only in post-processing at high magnifications. And you still get a better image at high ISO than an under-exposed one taken at a lower ISO.

Well that's nice to know; I underesposed bird photo's because I was told the opposite. I'll try high iso next time. Cheers Colin

The difference might not be obvious, but manufacturers adjust ISO by varying the gain on the analog to digital converter, which means you get the a slightly cleaner signal to work with -v- doing it digitally at a later stage.

In reality is just not a big problem these days though - the noise is small and modern programs like Noise Ninja can get you 2 extra stops of noise reduction anyway
