Found this image rummaging through an old hard drive. From my first decent camera, the D70. I had forgotten how ugly noise in digital photos used to be. It's not the noise that bothers me as I never use noise reduction beyond chroma noise reduction, it's the patterning. Barf. I forgot the days of dealing with ugly banded noise at ISO 1,000.
