Here is another angel picture. This is the very same subject as in the previous photo, but this time I lowered the ISO from 800 to 400. Notice how much image noise was eliminated by using a lower ISO. In lowering the ISO however, I also had to slow down the shutter speed to compensate for the lower ISO setting and a narrower aperture. I decided to pull back a bit more this time to photograph the glass case in addition to the angel. In doing so, I needed to add depth of field; not much, just a little. With an aperture of f/5.6 and a low ISO, I had to set the shutter speed to 4 seconds. This is a long exposure time, but it helped to eliminate much of the noise that was present in the previous angel photo.
Edit: There is still a problem with fringing however. This continues to be an issue with many digital cameras, including Canon's A and G Series cameras. Canon managed to correct much of this fringing problem with the release of its G7 camera and pefected it even more with the introduction of the G9. But the problem persists. Much of the fringing around the angel in this photo is caused by light refraction, and therefore not any fault of the camera.

You can sometimes use your macro setting to fool people too. If you thought that photo was really a beach scene in Florida, take a look below....

.......a bit more interesting by photographing the subject at their eye level. This is especially important when photographing children and pets. People want to see faces, not the top of heads!!

(Sorry about the noise. I had to use a higher ISO setting. I wished to maintain depth of field, but the flash was washing out the image too much so I turned it off.)
