Photography Question 

Tami Jo Gramont
 

RAW grit


I'm not sure why but my RAW images are gritty looking. Pixalated or noisy. I can remove the noise, but I want to know what is causing it. Could it be my telephoto lens? A poor quality lens? Or is it some setting like RAW/jpeg in a Canon 30D? Oh, I don't even know what to ask, really. I'd be grateful for any ideas.

A confused thanks in advance.

  Hi Tami -

Can you email one of your RAW files to me to take a look at? Because of size, you may need to use something like yousendit.com.

A couple of questions though -
Is this happening with all images, or only certain types - it's not unusual if you're increasing the exposure by a couple of stops to see something like this.
What converter are you using?


Jon
