Landscape Lens and Noise Reduction.
Dear All,
I am new to this forum. I have Canon 1000D with 18-55mm and 70-300mm lens both Canon.
Recently I had taken some photos in the early morning near my countryside.
The problem I faced is lot of noise in the photos. Mainly I used Tv mode with aperature f/13 with the lens of 18-55mm.
I am realy annoyed by the picture quality.
And on top of these things I have fog coming in between ...
I am not able to get good sharpness as well the texture in the photo. All in all it is not rich !!!
I realy want to know as why this is happening ...
I heartly welcome the adivces in order to improve my skills.
Regards,
Venkat

Best to do is upload the pic and place a link into the conversation so we can see it.
What you should do, is upload the picture, when you have done so and you look at the picture yourselve, on the right side under the pic you can see a number between brackets called FC Link copy the number including the brackets and paste it into your discussion here in the forum.
We can then see the picture.
We can then see the picture.
Dear Venkat
Would like to see your picture before commenting.
But i can say in general, 18-55 are cheap skate lenses lacking qaulity. They do have problem of cluttered background. The better lenses for landscape is 10-22 F 3.5-4.5.
Good idea will be to use tripod where you have low light to avoid shake and to reach high aperture like F 16 required for sharpness.
also as you may know all the pictures are to be worked for image qaulity through contrast, brighness, color correction, sharpness, noise reduction and chromatic aberration in canon DPP software.
Warm Regards

Without seeing your image it's hard to say what setting would result in the best outcome for you. I can appreciate why you are using an f/ stop of f/13, to maintain sharpness throughout the image, however i can only assume as a result of this setting you need to overcompensate by selecting a higher ISO. If so, then that will be causing the noise you're experiencin (also if you have changed the factory settings on your camera for brightness, sharpness etc... then this is also causing the noise you're experiencing). camera's are a very crude way to edit photos, so you should keep any adjustment such as colour temperature, sharpness etc.. to a minimum. There is good software out there specifically designed to do all your editing work on a computer so this is where all your editing work should be done
I don't know what the level of light available to you is and so without that information it's hard to recommend a setting, however I can offer you some information that might help.
Try using aperture priority setting and set it at f/7 or f/8 (you will still get good sharpness with this f/stop). Reduce your ISO and increase exposure. This will reduce the noise. As long as there is information throughout the histogram graph you can fix any underexposure with editing software. You also say there's fog in the picture. I dont know if you mean there's fog at that time of day or whether the image comes out foggy. Assuming the image comes out foggy, it could be a result of the cold morning fogging up the lens. If so make sure you constantly wipe the lens just before taking the shot. Also, leave both the lens and camera body out in the open to help acclimatise to the conditions. You will find that the lens will not fog up as quickly after whiping it and so give you time to take your shot.
I hope this helps a little:)
