Chris,

From memory, this was about 30-minutes after sunset. It was getting quite dark. I will look it up and let you know when I get home.

And, you're absolutely right, I had in camera noise reduction enabled. I have found that it makes an enormous difference. I can imagine it'd be a bit of a pain if you were shooting in really dark conditions, and having to wait 1-2 minutes for your dark frame to complete, but, it can make the difference between a splodgy noise-ridden image and a clean one with little (if any) noise to deal with.

As for the ISO stuff, the ISO-400 was my limit for astrophotography. But, on the newer cameras, such as your 50D, you can really push it another stop or two. So, ISO-800 (with noise reduction) can work really quite well for landscapes. Even astro. Give it a go.

Would like to get one of those filters one day.

Just wondering how much after sunset this photo was taken,and if you had to do a 'dark frame subtract',I note you used iso 800,I renember once Humayan you mention you prefer to try not to go over 400 iso,I take it,it was quite some time after sunset for you to go to iso 800.

I imagine the 5D mk II is vastly better in noise reduction than many other cameras,Would be interested to here,As I would like to do some late arvo-early morning water shots.

Thanks for sharing,C
Thanks, everyone.
