grow.  Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm Canon Powershot A510. I
took photography as an elective, and I normally look for
pictures later in the evening, as I find it more enjoyable to
walk then. The problem is that - especially considering it's
winter here - that it gets dark pretty early. This isn't a huge
problem, as there are some things that look better in the dark,
but I keep running into issues with noise.  For example  The
camera has four ISO settings, 50, 100, 200, and 400. I used 400
for the shot, a 5.5 f-speed (the lowest it would go for that
zoom level) and a 1/60 second shutter speed.  I have photoshop,
but the filter > noise > reduce noise doesn't do much. How can I
reduce the noise on this image and prevent it in future images?
Also, any constructive criticism is appreciated. I'm not a big
fan of photography, but I wouldn't mind taking pictures a little
better.  share|improve t
