My friend's rock band as a cover band for Mondo Rock. An Aussie pop rock band from the late 70s-80s. They sound a lot like Toto. even their front man looks like Bobby Kimball hehe..

D80 camera.. all shots were taken between 800-3200 ISO, hand-held. PP curves and noise reduction. Why is it that noise is more pronounced when shooting RAW than JPEG?

Jonathan, not bad at all for a first try... even the blurred ones sing! :)

The third one is real good. It's almost abstract. :)

I don't know how to answer your question about noise though.
