Honestly, I was so drawn to the eyes in #1 I didn't notice the noise until I read the text.

The d70 was a bastard to shoot gigs with. Over iso1000 and the noise was a real problem, however i needed iso1600 dueto the crappy lighting. I find the d200 is really good at 1600, no canon but still really good and easy to manage the noise.

Yes, there is some noise, but a good shot is a good shot. Compare this to ISO1600 colour film, or ISO400 slide film... :shock:

Cheers
Steffen.

The first image is magnificent....those eyes really make the shot ! The selective DOF on the face is well done.

No. 2, I feel, is let down by not enough DOF. The nose is "just" OOF , leaving the hair on the bridge of the nose in focus. IMO, it would have been a better image if the nose/nostril had been in focus.

Although the high ISO looks quite bad on-screen, printed out, the image shouldn't look too bad.

I guess it comes down to what the image is intended for (if anything).

But as steffen said, "a good shot is a good shot"....and it's better to get that shot (with noise) than not have that shot at all. PS..what lens were you using ?

Thanks everyone :)
Really appreciate the feedback - I don't usually shoot at high iso, but thought it was about time I tried it :) ;)
Bloody hard LOL

The shot was taken with the old trusty 105 2.8 micro :)

As always - love your work.

The first shot may look terrific cropped as a portrait shot - getting rid of the background. The eyes just do it for me with this shot.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)
