I think the point here, though, is that when it's a matter of simply getting the shot - any shot - being better than no shot at all, then this may well have to be an acceptable compromise.

Those people who you sometimes see bleating about noise @ 200 ISO would never make it as professional photographers because they'd be too concerned about getting a noiseless image, rather than completing their assignment, which would be to get an image.

Very true, and one can remember many European magazines published double spreads with images of the London bombings aftermath that were taken on cam phone... They were very 'noisy', dark and pixellised but they showed something that no dslr captured.

There is not one photo taken that is crap if it shows the story - are we to believe that if an event happens that we ask everything and everyone to freeze until we can set our camera for the perfect pic - I think not.

Take a look at the millions of photos taken in war zones and then let me know how many are technically perfect shots 8)

Next time a newspaper editor sees that, why not save himself the trouble and get a department to render the same scene in some nice animation, PS it, and then print it.

Geeze... I saw that shot last night and thought 3 things:

1. "Huh. Slow news day."
2. "Who cares?"
3. "Nice noise. Lol."

I'm quite sure celebrities mag editors are familiar with the PS methods to blur or bring up noise in a shot; it allows them to make the pictures look like "stolen" and "unauthorised"!

They could be body doubles for all we know... such is the lack of distinguisable features in that shot. I bet devoid of other tabloid knowledge, the picture wouldn't warrant any recognition.

To our American or other overseas forum members - how many of you know WTF that image depicted?

Riiighhhtt... you know, you can say "fuck" here. :)

And in answer to your question, I'd say very few do.

I don't think the overseas people would know what it is...

But the point is, that must be a really small crop of the photo that they took, and I thought there were pictures better than that... =s

Second of all, who cares, it's a tennis player and a C grade actress (E grade singer...) that's getting married, I guess we don't care but in actual fact all the others care about this shit, oh well. :shock:
