    How do you do noise reduction? Does it have a big unfluence on the image quality?

    It can if you over do it. Like all adjustments, moderation is the key. For high ISO images I'll use NoiseNinja. It will do an automatic scan of your image and then present you with sliders for each setting. The default of each slider is a "medium" setting BASED ON THE SCAN. So, the sliders are relative to the scan. Make sense? I've never pushed the sliders beyond the medium setting and often will back them off.

    Aperture also has a Noise Reduction adjustment that I use on the lowest setting. I typically will use it on every image in conjunction with the sharpening.

    I've always found that a combination (subtle) of noise reduction and un-sharpen mask (or sharpening) provides the best result.

    30 second exposure with about 10 flashes from my sb800. The car sat in relative darkness with the sickly yellow light in the background.

    Taken at the black tie event for the Louisville Concour d'Elegance at Churchill Downs.

    This car was in the Ferrari class that I judged. It was very difficult to pick a winner from the group.

    What a beautiful picture!
    Is there any chance of getting a higher resolution version of that? I absolutely love that car
