Hi people, please help me anyone. I'm using Canon 50D and sometimes I shoot in RAW but the result is awful....a lot of noise/red/yellow/blue....what setting shall I use if I shoot inside of abandoned places (a bit of light that comes through the little halls)

Thanks

@Kriptum try lowering the ISO on your cam or use a noiseware plugin to smooth out noise.

Do you have to calibrate your monitor using gears like spider or any monitor calibrating tools?

Which is "best" photomatix or hdr expose and why do you think so ?

[Travelingport]

@delahouzzzze I prefer photomatix because it has the most intuitive and useful controls out of any program I've used. I recommend photomatix becuase it has really nice presets that allow people new to HDR to ease into the field and learn the numerous ways to refine an image.

whats the difference in using a SLR cam and a digicam with EV settings??

[Travelingport]

@SuperAyiayi Well it really depends on which DSLR / digicam you are using. Generally DSLR cameras use better glass and lenses than digicams to give crisper results. In addition, they use a larger digital sensor which results in images with less noise. With that said, if you are using a digicam in manual mode at the lowest ISO possible mounted on a tripod, you should still receive decent results.

@Travelingport Ok..thanks! definetly will visit your site!..looking forward for more HDR pictures!

when using any kind of RAW files the default is that you check the reduce noise box in the presets especially if your photo contain lots of dark areas, shadows or simple black color.

This includes at very low ISO and high shutter speeds.
