What was the ISO setting?

1/1000

Looks to me like you shot at a high ISO and underexposed the shot, then when you boosted the exposure in post, you also boosted the noise in the shadows (which in an underexposed shot is most everything).

That's the shutter speed. Kent was asking about the ISO setting. You
probably did what David described.

Looks like high ISO + the focus seems to have falled on the tree behind her.

I'm guessing that you somehow had the ISO set at 800 or higher.

I will bet on high ISO as well. If you haven't touch it, give it a check to make sure it's where it's supposed to be

I have the 10D also
and you must have had the ISO up pretty high. I just finished this shoot and took these at ISO 1600 - there is noise, but not so bad. I agree that the focus must be a little off too. These had NO noise reduction. In fact, if anything, I probably made the noise a bit worse with the unsharp maks that I applied.







Check the EXIF and let us know what ISO you were shooting at. I love my 10D and get great shots out of it.

Yup. Definitely check the ISO. I have a 10D and the noise drives me crazy. When you have it at ISO 400 or below, it's a great camera, but above that, you need to be aware that the noise'll get bad.

But the fact that you're shooting in the shade and those were your settings makes me think it was definitely your ISO.

And if you pushed it at all (didn't have it exposed just perfect), that noise shows up.
