Very noise low light high ISO pictures from 600D

Worked quite well! No noise to speak of, even on the original size!

Thanks Gerry. Background whites are blown out by spot metering. I reduced brightness with DPP.

Another ISO 3200 image. Looks like spot metering with back button focusing is giving proper exposure. Is it possible to remove lighting reflection spots.

Getting a lot better!

You can use the Clone Tool in any pixel photo editor (such as Photoshop or equivalent). Try to reduce the opaqueness to about 30% and do it a few times, so that you don't get a distinct copy of pixels.

Thanks Gerry. Looks like, I always need to use spot metering even with normal lighting to take pics of my kid with his skin tone. Took that following pic with weighted and EC. Still, i did not get his proper exposure. In real time, those shadows are very light.

Nothing wrong using the spot meter. Don't forget you can lock the exposure with the * button and then compose/focus as you wish.

Nice! Also remember, you can throw in exposure compensation to brighten things up. Pretty important in my experience, as I am of South Asian heritage as well. Fill flash helps a lot too if you remember to lug along it along for an outdoor shoot.

...also, try to keep the sun behind YOU, so that you get better lighting!

yes, a simple change in position can help many photos, including some in this thread !

I took same pic with on camera flash and without flash. Which one is preferable?

No flash: 1/100 F1.8 ISO 3200

With flash: 1/125 F4.5 ISO 400

it's what you prefer
But get a $50 yongnuo ETTL flash and bounce the light against the ceiling or wall and you might prefer another option

(and keep the sun behind your back!)

I think, it is little blurry. I should have tried 1/125 with wide open instead of 1/100. It felt better than other 3200 iso pics.
