How about one of these to keep the noise down?

As seen elsewhere (so feel free to disqualify it!)

1/100 @ F5.6 @ ISO 800 @ 200mm, RAW conversion in Silkypix, noise reduction by Neatimage, final sharpening and resizing in Photoshop Elements.

Thanks, the ISO was only 100 - they were playing in the afternoon, so apart from the stage lighting there was quite a lot of ambient lighting in the marque. This next shot was taken later on, and the ISO was 800, but I used neatimage to process it and a bit of photoshop to re-introduce sharpness that the noise reduction removed.

Damn! It's got wood in it! I could have entered it in the competition!

Well back from the Lake District and, more specifically, the Maryport Blues Festival. Took the new toy (macbook) but didn't get much chance to do anything other than sort through the photos and convert a few to JPG for my host.

Van Morrison was his grumpy self and the security staff tried to stop people using long lenses or flash units. Handy that the 50-200 DA looks so small

This is not the man himself, but another performer in a better mood.

Oh and congrats to the competition winners while I was away.

Yes, and it is not difficult. I use SensorClean from http://www.visibledust.com/products.php Bit scary the first time, just make sure you have a fully charged battery or are using the mains adapter when you start.

That's the sort of shot I'd like to take. Must load up my equipment and take it for a holiday by the sea while the sun is still shining!

I don't have an "identical body" but occasionally I have toted around the DS as a second body. One will have a long lens and the other a wide lens, long on the K10D because the SR and more rapid AF gives more benefit to the long lens (IMHO).
