my opinion could be called biased b/c I'm shooting with John in January but I just adore this picture he took of Envy

am i just so old with failing eyesight, or are some of these young whippersnappers posting pics with NO grain showing at all? 

'grain' isn't that miniscule amount of extra noise you might get when you set your 20D to asa 800...grain is what you get when you take Tmax 3200 and push it 5 stops.

One of my own, but is in Sarah's (MM#104661) portfolio.

And I confess, the grains are artificial. The original image was sharp and clear.

I was at a Formula Drift Championship down by the track. It was about 9:00 pm and I was away from the lights of the stands. I spotted this gal talking to her friend about 50ft. away. Something about her caught my eye and I took this shot just as she turned to go. ISO 800 f/5.6 at 1/20. No IS on my 70-200 lens - I just tried my best to be steady.

Turned out to be one of my favorite shots of the evening mainly because she's so beautiful.

I was thinkin the same thing. Even my images that I posted that do have grain in the original looked clear. Mostly because they are smaller versions.
