Julie,
I used Noise Ninja but faded it down to about 40% trying to maintain some detail in the fur. As you said in an earlier post, I doubt the noise will show up in prints. And, frankly, I don't see it on-screen until I view at 100% so maybe I'm just overly sensitive to the fact that the light was so poor.

Jim, I shot in Louisville last March and the light was so poor that I was at ISO 3200 and F2 on the 135 and I still couldn't freeze paw movement when Rowdy was going around. You do what you can do and hope for the best. I usually tell my clients that I'll only shoot moving shots for advertising outdoors. Otherwise, there's no way to guarantee that you'll get anything usable.

Jim
