I would suggest that the shadows in which we tend to get really ugly noise are shadows which would have virtually nothing in them with film. I came to the conclusion long ago - and this brings us back to the beginning of this refreshingly calm and informative discussion ;-) - that one of the tradeoffs in the film/digital equation, and one of the reasons that I've gone with digital, is that digital tends to capture more information in low light than does film. I won't be surprised if one of our computer technical gurus tells me I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. B. D.
