This is my ultimate mistake, but I was using the Nikon D70 for this shoot, and I had it on "automatic" setting. What can get rid of the grain in this picture? Any suggestions would be great.

I dont think the Dust in the air helps the matter any.
i cant see Pakalolo's picture right now because work has photobucket blocked. but i would suggest mabye darkening the area around the firefighter? It would both get rid of a lot of grain, and bring focus to the main part of the photo

Nice picture. I think you can use the noise function but basically that just blurs the stuff a bit. BUt if you adjust that and some shadows/highlight should give you a better picture maybe.

It looks as if Tomi isolated the sun ray so as to not allow it to darken along with the rest. It even looks like he may have brightened just that while darkening the rest?
There are ways to prevent digital noise beforehand (low ISO, fast lens, tripod etc.), but once it's taken the most effective way to minimize it is with a specialized anti-noise plugin, and good ones cost some bux. Or maybe a camera with a bigger image chip to allow higher ISO speeds w/o the noise ...>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Yep I learned that the hard way lol before I read how to set my canon a80 I used to auto now I sometimes borrow my friends tripod and turn down the ISO to the lowest setting. Im still trying to figure out how to make it take better pictures in the dark.

Thanks
I used the noise function to low key it, then just used the sharpen feature to bring it back.
Also used the contrast and played a lil bit with color keys.
If I had to do it for one of my clients (as I always do lol) I'd make a seperate layer,
maybe even a couple .. then tweak from there, and adjust accordingly ..
I woulda also dust spotted alot more then I did .. alot more.
Like I said ... I just farted with it for a couple min .. It's a cool image, nice moody shot!
A Hui Hou !!!

The grain in the original photo looks great.
That's natural light. The grain is natural.
It looks like dust, visable from the light.
Great photo man.
Tripods are good, but i like off center photos.
