Would the tripod mean the difference between noise or no noise?
I shot a posada yesterday, and had to crank up the ISO, I shoot with a Nikon D200, and needless to say, the grain was substantial.
How come I have noise and you don't?
(I am really interested in this, it is not a joke question)
Love the shot very much...
Complicated question. I think the tripod helps because you can then go down to slower shutterspeeds which allows you to keep the iso down to reasonable levels. Fast glass is also helpful.
I find the noise characteristics between my D200 and D2Xs to be very similar. I try not to go above iso 400 (like this shot). Make sure your photo is properly exposed. Underexposure will increase noise. Try to push you exposure compensation to the right.
