This is a problem or?

[spitzer]

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and it is my first post. my question is about noise level on my photo despite of lower iso level. I am giving example photo below which was taken at iso 200 level and has high noise level. Is this a normal noise level or my sensor has a problem or another problem? Thanks in advance.

Model: Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL
Shutter Speed: 1/20 second
Aperture: F/1.8
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Lens: canon 50 mm f1.8 ii

Underexposure will often result in more noise.

 

[Morpheuss]

it also looks like you might want to up your shutter speed.

What Mike said... minimum noise is acheived with correct exposure.

 

[AlexL]

the photo is underexpose and the noise will be high!

 

[spitzer]

okey, i got it, i didn't know that underexpose might cause high noise, thanks for the replies

Wait wait wait... I think it might be underexposed. Opinions?

Yes, underexposed. Has been said numerous times now.
BUT - "spitzer" - welcome to ThePhotoForum. Please: do take more self portraits of yours, will you!?! I have this inkling that I might LIKE them. (Where has our thread of the male TPF Hotties disappeared to, I wonder? There used to be such funny times when we added to that thread, "we" being the female TPF Hotties, of course, --- you might be a candidate for that thread! )

Well how about a TPF girls hotties self portrait thread then, I'd much rather see some dames than fat old blokes like myself. H

PS. its underexposed by the way

The background isn't underexposed, just the subject.
