Changing of the Light

Hi Lili.....
Geeze, it's really flat there huh? It almost looks like after pocylipse......
The end of the old or The new beginning ....

 

I see it all over the sky in the first photo, and perhaps in the paint on the car in the second. It would probably be much more noticeable if viewed full size. My E-P1 is noisy that way too.

Here's the thing, though - I don't think it's just sensor noise. I have the same lens as you, and it's noisy. When I took a couple of photos with a borrowed Panasonic 20mm, and when I use my adapted Pentax 50mm, I get much less noise at the same ISO. The difference is jaw-dropping.

I don't know what the mechanics of noise production is in this case. After getting my E-P1, I was initially disappointed that my images were noisier than what I was getting with my five year old Kodak EasyShare. Now I'm just disappointed that the kit lens has disadvantages that nearly balance out its advantages.

 

Lili... Your real good at what you do.
Just do it and don't let others opinions steer you.
I do mostly B&W so noise converts to grain. Even in my color stuff, I add grain to use the noise.
Remember the film daze......?
I really like you being here.
Your pal...don

 

Noise, grain?? How bout we just call it texture? Whatever it is I like it in my photos and in yours. I have the noise filter turned off in my E-PL1 and am more than happy with the results.....

John,
There's no room for anything practical or logical amongst pixel peepers.
But of course I agree with you and welcome your input on the forums.
