Unhappy The cockpit @ night

Hey guys, I was able to get some shots during low light, C&C welcomed

It was very hard to get the camera exactly where I wanted it, but I am happy at my firt attempt at really low light shots. Noise was ok I guess.

anyway

NO PILOTS AHHHHH

Looks good dude I would go for a little more exposure to bring up the shadows a bit and have the lights really pop.

Very nice, for me 1 & 4 are the winners as they have the least noise and the sharpest interior details.

I'm not sure why, but I find my eyes being drawn to the ceiling mounted controls. I think it may have to do with the contrast created by the thin, but sharply defined bright lines.

yeah, I will say (as I have read) Nikon doesnt handle Noise nearly as well as Canon. I feel like anything over 800ISO with the D300s is really grainy.

Any really good add-ons for Noise reduction for CS4?

The good thing is, I bracketed all these photos so I do have soe that are exposed more, I will throw soem of them up here later

Really? My buddy just picked up a D300s and showed me some indoor shots at ISO1600 and it looked pretty damn good to me. I try to never go above 800 on my D3000. (that's a whole different ballgame though)
