took this yesterday in Gotland, Sweden.
This was in a church ruin where my daughter sat in a stairwell with a hole in the wall. The evening sun (golden hour) really illuminated that part nicely where she sat.

Well at least I think so.

The amount of noise, and lack of focus are really distracting.

The amount of noise, and lack of focus are really distracting.

I can agree with you on that. This was shot @ ISO 3200, @ f/2.5 (If i remember correctly). The point was to be out of focus and just focus on the ball. Lighting sucked, but hey thats ok, because this was just a fun exercise at my friends house while we were playing drunken pool!

I think what Nigrit0 means is why not correct what you can? Here is the same shot with noise reduction and color correction. It's good when the cue ball is white and the reduced noise helps to make the cue ball sharper. The noise reduction is done with Topaz Denoise filter for PS. It works better when you have the original raw file to process.

Nice... I feel I'm in the bee's world, with a 'bee's-eye-view'...

Great light for bringing out detail in the stonework. Have the dresses changed colour, or am I going mad? I'd be tempted to crop off the figure on the far right...
