Thats realy nice, how do you manage to avoid the grain.? These look noise free and super smooth. I cant come close to such good results!!

[stroma88]

i cant wait to get home at easter now!

Great pics bcsman and Deemac.

Dafi, low ISO settings obviously help with noise, but I've recently tried "Noiseware" (http://noiseware-community-edition.en.softonic.com/) and it seems reasonably effective at reducing noise. Of course if you have a camera like Deemac's, noise is much less of a problem.

Cheers astroman i will go and have a look. I was using ISO 200 the other night and was still strugling.

Thanks very much astroman.

This is a first quick attempt and it is very easy to use.
