Its another great shot, Dan. I'm trying to visualize the square crop but in my mind's eye I don't see a square that's better than the original comp.

Loving it Hamish,
Do you remeber what I was like about noise in my shots before?
It really bothered me. But now I can't get enough of it!

It's like with anything in this game int it... It's always best to embrace the limitations and use them within photos rather than being restricted by them!
It's the same with lost highlights ... Its only the techy folk on DPR et al that complain about them, the rest of us see them as somthing to be exploited for creative means not faught against! You just have to know where these things work and where they don't ... This is the sort of shot where noise and lost highlight does work... That said, it's also the sort of shot twy wouldn't get on a techy forum... They would complain about the noise and lost highlights
LR3 has a grain tool, you will like that if you are getting into this ... Just gives you the ability to break up the noise slightly, change its density sorta thing...

That's a good enough reason for me to show even less interest in DPR.
Lack of exploitation springs to mind, to some of course, not all.
I remember reading this article in a magazine a couple year ago, and this wedding photographer (can't remember the name though) mention how he'd rather bump the ISO right up to minimise blur, and delightfully embraces the grain as part of his style.
Well, when I read that, I thought he was mad, yes I could understand the theory behind it, but I didn't like it, purely because there was grain. But now it's a completely different ball game.
I took this shot in a very very dark ambient light with my nifty fifty at ISO 3200.
A few months ago, I'd of glued the thing to ISO 100, and struggled to get that shot.
Not only does it help with technique, but also style.
I'm ISO mad! Give me the grain!!!!! Lol
