that was in Bossier City, LA. Since it was shot at I guess 1600 thus the noise. I have another version, in which the noise is cleaned up and it looks much better. It's a pity i didn't have it on any site for uploading it here.

Newbie alert! What do you mean "Since it was shot at I guess 1600 thus the noise" by that statement?

Great shot.

Wonderful composition.

Great shot. Wonderful composition.

I mean that the ISO speed was 1600 and hence I got the digital noise. Cannot articulate it simpler

Coming from a painting background into photography has been a big plus in a lot fo areas. I already have a good grasp of color, composition, etc...but the camera jargon leaves me lost a lot of the time. So, thanks for letting me know what you were talking about.

Talking about digital film or normal film speeds once you increase its speed (measured in ISO or ASA) then you get the noise (in digital) or greater grain (in normal film). There are also other techniques like for instance push photography, which is about using a film of given ISO but choosing exposure values as if it's the higher or lower ISO film. When developing it you have to treat it as the film of the speed you changed to (same if you have it developed in the shop you have to tell them what ISO speed you changed the film to).
