Grainy High Res IMAGES help!

I'm pretty new here found via google cos I've been having some issues with a couple of photographs I could do with some advice on fixing.

It goes like this, on my high resolution images when I zoom in 100% my images have alot of grainy-ness on them, here's some example images of zoomed out and zoomed in

I'm guessing you boosted the exposure in post processing? That's what probably brought out the noise in the underexposed areas.

I use noiseware.

In my experience, one frequently has some graininess at 100% magnification. It will be more apparent if you've done any sharpening, especially in dark and/or uniformly colored areas. I wouldn't get too obsessive about it.

Reason why it comes obsessive as it was my first shoot and I will be sending the model full res images on a CD, don't want to look "noobish" with grainy images

Give her a folder full of reduced size images for her to view on screen, and clearly mark the full-res one as "for printing only".

I take it you were using high ISO.

Just run it through Neat Image -- it will do wonders to grainy images.

Don't worry. It won't be bothersome in print....

Many programs like Canon's DPP and Lightroom have noise and purple fringing/CA reduction, so it may be worth a try there.

First get off Av & use the right settings. You could have shot at 1/1600 sec ISO 100.
Second, the better the exposure, the less noise you will get.

Gavin shoots a lot at high ISO & provides fun captions as well. The first & many other images are at ISO Speed Ratings = 1600!
The week's sporting events in images...

For a good starting point, first set the f-stop & shutter speed you need. Then adjust the ISO.
Need an exposure crutch?

This shows how the subject can affect the exposure & why manual keeps me worry free:
