Hi! Good photo. Did you use the on-camera noise filter or did you filter noise in some editing program?
No, no noise reduction used at all and no post capture sharpening, this is a conversion from the RAW image striaght out of the camera.

Many consider the K7 to be a tiny bit nosier though then the K20D.

This is only one image, so not conclusive, but even so, the noise is probably no worse than one would get from high ISO film.

What impressed me more was the shake reduction dealing so well with half a second.

Stefan. I don't speak any dutch and your english is normally so good, so this is just a bit of fun and not a complaint about your spelling. I really had to laugh, and I know you will too. Check your dictionary for nosier. I know we photographers are nosey but I didn't think our cameras were.
CHEERS Vic.

Thank you Vic

I also have dyslexia and not in a minor form either, so that is also not helping me

But glad I can make myself understandable although sometimes, I really mess up things

Stefan. If I could Speak. Write. or Read Dutch 1000th. as good as you manage my language I'd think I was doing well! It's just that I had a little laugh at that one. CHEERS Vic.

A laugh to be joyous must flow from a joyous heart, Vic I can say I found yours joyous
And please don't think of learning Dutch, English is fed here in the early years these days. I believe when kids are 6 they get their first English lessons.
What Languages do they teach in the UK, probably French, Spanish or Germany or not?

Most schools the only 2nd language will be French from about age 11. Then usually more choices (elective) at 14. The choices are still quite limited in most schools, German, Spanish and Latin are probably the main 3. Occasionally Italian. i've never heard of Dutch being offered

But Tim how important can Dutch be, French and Spanish are far more useful.
They should start to give French even earlier though, I believe around 11 and 12 is the limit someone can learn a language easily, children younger then that can pick it up very fast.

We get now English early like said and french at around 11 / 12 years and then at 14 we also got the selective languages.
Depending on what level you're you need to learn French & German most of the time and for the higher levels Spanish & Latin, so pretty much the same as yours.

ps. we are going very off topic now

There is great debate about when one should start to learn a second language. My view, based on my own experience and that of people I know is that the sooner you start the better. If you are exposed to multiple languages from infancy you will learn them all without sweat.

As Stefan says, at around thirteen a barrier comes down and acquiring a language becomes much more difficult. Starting second languages so late is madness.

When I was young, long ago, I was taught Latin and French from the age of eight. Judging by the results, even eight was late in my case!
