This is nice, I like the mood.
>> elf_man
Although, in terms of critique, I think the balance is a little off, the dock could extend just a little farther into the frame. Perhaps a closer zoom, so that a bit more detail was visible. It might be nice if you could have captured more of the light reflections on the beach/water, but that's more a possibility than criticism.

its very nice. i like the aspect ratio.

Great photo..too bad it was not taken with a dSLR where you can set the ISO to reduce the noise.
But i like the colors and mood.
>> Anonymous
nice but way too grainy
>> albatross !!oo9VZeGLvUX
I love the colors and the composition. Really adds to the mood. good job.

This photograph isn't noisy/grainy much at all. I don't know what you two are seeing.
>> slim !yE5LOsLjxQ
it's fuzzy. if the dock and restaurant were in clear focus, this would change from a photo i like to a photo i love.

Agreed.

Are you kidding me? It's covered in noise. Ruins it tbh.

Yeah, the iso is set way too high, but besides that it's alright. If you made it smaller, and blurred it a bit, the noise may be less noticeable.

EXIF info tells me the camera used is a Panasonic DMC-TZ3. Panasonics are known for rather poor noise performance, and this is no exception. Even at ISO 100 (which is the value in the EXIF data), noise is still very visible, and distractingly so.

It isn't particularly noisy at all. There is a bit, but nowhere near as bad as some of you are making it out to be. Fucking digital geeks.

ISO Speed Rating: 100

you are viewing a 6 second shot taken on a digicam at 1600x1200. stop trying to make up problems, this shot is fine.

blurry.

I tried to help.
I didn't like the people on the balcony thing, so I shopped them out.

Get a better tripod, that'll stop the blur... or put it on timer so your hand trembles dont get to the shot.

For a 6 second exposure on a P&S that's pretty low noise.
>> Jeremo !iKGMr61IHM
and with the exception of maybe Fujifilm, show me one Company that produces P&S with good high ISO performance. Even Canon's P&S have really bad noise performance.

Longer exposures don't equate to more noise.

ISO = Noise
>> Macheath
>>53867
Actually it does. Less noise than shooting at high ISO, but you still get noise. Sensors can't interpret light with a perfectly, so you still have to keep the signal to noise ratio in mind. So the longer you set your exposure, the more the sensor will fuck up and produce noise.
>> Jeremo !iKGMr61IHM
>>53867

Yes it does, why do you think most cameras have a 'long exposure noise reduction' option?

In most cases exposure has a DIRECT relation to the noise level... use your brain, the longer the shutter is open the more photons are collected by the sensor = more noise.

finally found some empirical data to back me up.
