Zero noise photography

This article is a little dated (2008 last update), does the techniques still apply?   www.guillermoluijk.com/article/nonoise/index_en.htm  

I was searching for ways to reduce noise and stumbled upon this one.  What do you think?

To the best of my knowledge, noise has yet to be completely eliminated from sensors. Therefore, the described technique still applies.

How exciting will that be when we don't have any noise, even at higher ISO levels.

If noise is completely eliminated it wouldn't effect me one bit. I don't have a clue what it look's like and only know very few that can spot it.

Yeah HDR is pretty much what is the only thing that will eliminate noise from an image with too much dynamic range. That is pretty much what the technique was developed for in the film days. You expose correctly for the light then the shadows, and then stack the images to make a properly exposed photo for the whole image.

Then you're not looking at pretty much every mobile phone image.

Your right. I seldom see phone photo's and don't look closely when I do. Still don't know what it looks like though if I saw it.

Don it kind of looks like you used grainy film in the dark areas if it is a newer camera. In which case a little bit of it to me is nothing major, but in the interbutz age if it is not tack sharp throughout the whole it is a flaw. To me it shows which age you started shooting in. I find that the majority of pixel peepers started in the digital age, as opposed to those of us who started with tin types. :evil:

Imagine photography with zero noise?  How insane would that be, pristine photos regardless of how long shutter was open?  That's what I'm talking about!

You want to get your squash working over time, figure out which is better for noise:

high ISO OR underexposing the shot
