![]() ![]() If the first thing you notice about the photograph is the amount of noise, though, then it is too much. A little noise can add character to a photograph, as long as it doesn’t subtract from the subject.

As with stereos, different models of cameras handle this ‘distortion’ better, i.e. The same is said for cameras, there is an acceptable limit and beyond that is unusable. Think of this in terms of a cd stereo system, the volume increases the ‘loudness’ but when you increase it too much the sound is distorted and renders the song unlistenable. The higher the ISO the more prominent the noise as the sensor will struggle and will deteriorate the photograph. However, in doing this, the sensor warms up and causes interference and introduces noise into the image. ![]() To maintain a high enough shutter speed you can crank up your ISO to increase the sensitivity of the sensor, forcing the sensor to see more light. However, slowing your shutter speed at a concert will not provide you with sharp, crisp images – especially with a fast moving band or shooting from the crowd. So what happens if you do not have much light available, such as at a concert? As you know, you can let in more light by having a wider aperture, slower shutter speed and a higher ISO. The clue is in the name photo – Greek for light – meaning you are capturing light and you need it in order to be able to take a photograph. More affordable cameras and lenses usually will not be able to handle shooting in low light as well as the high-end cameras. When starting out in concert photography, you may not necessarily have the latest and greatest lenses and camera bodies. Why is there more noise when shooting in low light? A greater pixel count does not always mean better picture quality, pixels aren’t everything. The Nikon has more pixels but the sensor is the same size and because of this, noise will be more prominent in the Nikon. Let’s compare the Canon 5D Mk III and Nikon D800. When you put 20 megapixels into a full frame sensor, and the same number into a point-and-shoot, the noise is always going to be worse in the P&S, because the pixels are much smaller. Full frame or FX sensors generally have larger pixels and can hold more information thus handling noise better. Smaller digital sensors (known as DX or Crop Sensor) generally have smaller pixels and therefore hold less information. There are several contributing factors to noise in photography. ![]() In digital photography ‘noise’ is visual distortion and looks similar to film grain and when it’s really prominent, it can ruin a photograph. We’ve all heard about ‘noise’ in concert photography, but what exactly is it? Is it good or bad and what are good noise reduction techniques? ![]()
