You know, I can’t explain why that happened. Could it be bad pixels and not noise? Do you remember what your shutter speed and aperture was?

@Rowell

I was getting noise on relatively cheap olympus c70z camera. I know optics were not the best and neither was the sensor ; nevertheless.

I locked the ISO and manually adjusted the aperture, the shutter speed was selected automatically.

I was shooting raw – the noise that i got resembled the type of noise that you get on high ISO in the dark. Except high ISO in the dark amplifies green, here the amplification was red.

For the images I spoke about, they were in JPG. I am JUST about to make the transition to RAW.

Thanks for your input Erica. Do you both shoot in raw or jpg mode?

I have found the same thing Arthur. But I find the noise shows up when I try to lighten the image in post.

@Arthur That’s a little weird. What kind of camera are you using? Do you shoot in aperture priority mode or is that manual?

I noticed that a lot of times shooting against the sun will result in a substantial amount of noise on DSLR – anyone knows of a way to fight that?

I tried doing shuts at ISO 100 f/7.8 1/320 and got way too much of the red noise.
