Key Takeaways

  • Noise is an inherent aspect of photography that can reduce clarity, but it can be minimized through proper technique and understanding.
  • Noise in photography comes from various sources, but the key is to focus on the signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring that the signal (desired image) is stronger than the noise.
  • Techniques to reduce noise include correctly exposing the image, using a lower ISO, utilizing HDR merging, applying noise reduction in moderation, and using a camera with a larger sensor.
