The first one makes me think I should give : up photography and find another hobby. The only noise I noticed was me : getting upset! : : As always, thanks for sharing. The third one is OOF in all the wrong places, but all the second one needs is a bit of brightening. Maybe fill flash with a diffuser. You *might* even be able to brighten it enough in PP without washing out the background too much. Like Pete, I didn't see any noise. If there's any there, it's beyond the resolution of my monitor.

One of the tricks I've learned from the purchase of the SX120 is that I can use the XSi Live View as a kind of crude light meter... In the SX120, the display normally shows what the camera thinks is the proper exposure. But, when you do a half-press of the shutter release, the image shows the effects of the settings selected. Thus, if I've set exposure comp for an under-exposure, or the manual settings yield a dark image, the display goes dark on the half press -- brighter for an over-exposure. For me, this is much more effective than a little icon blinking away in the corner, as I can discern the quick change of brightness on the screen. While the XSi does not give me that feature, I can approximate it by using the mode dial. If, for instance, I have the exposure comp set to zero, the Live View displayed will be the base line. Then, by switching the mode dial to manual, I can figure out if the manual exposure is too bright or too dark. Coupling the mode switching "light meter" with counting clicks of the command dial, I'm as close now as I've ever been to fairly comprehensive control of the images I produce. Beauty truly is in the mind of the beholder... Take Care, Dudley

The second is too centered for me. The third is too dark. I didn't notice any noise. Thanks for sharing.
