I've put this image up here mainly for a bit of info.
This was taken on Nov 5th at a firework display.
I managed to catch the firework at the exact time it exploded but it looks extremely grainy.. I know the higher the ISO, the more grainy it looks.
How would I correct this ??
what software are you using? You could try many thing to cover remove those grains. But it is a matter of blending those margaritas not too fine not too course
You could try reducing Noise using Lightroom or photoshops. Or try to levell down exposure, blacks, and/or whites.
I am no expert, but, if you had put this on continuous shooting, apparently noise is random, so combining results may help. I have done this on a static shot, and did see a difference. Tried to de-noise your posted image, not much point posting result, here is a direct Link to the jpg
https://app.box.com/s/9sydc07fp84asqavb33r would have been better working from original. Interesting to see your comments/thoughts. Ed.
Sorry, ........... I was asking for the correction of my settings, not digital correction!
I use Paint Shop Pro and have done for the past 18 years so I think I am pretty conversant with the program.
I try not to post edit any images I put up here. What you see is what I shoot.
The only thing I do, is crop and that is mainly to get the size down so that I can post here.
The original is just the same as above, only reduced by 50%....
I will try to put the original here now .............

have you downloaded the pic from my Link. and conpared? Ed.
I would have used a much slower shutter speed. When looking at fireworks with your eyes, a large part of what you see is the image being retained in your eyeball. Using a slow shutter speed will have the same effect on your photo. As the light from the firework is brief and moving, having a shutter speed as low as 1/30 will make the picture look much more like a firework. This will mean you need to use a lower ISO setting and you will have a lot less noise - also, the noise you do get will be less noticable.
Actually, I don't think your picture is particularly noisy - that grain is mostly down to the fact that the light you are catching comes from small pieces of burning material - with a fast shutter speed, you are getting a clear picture of each piece of burning material.
As I said, the light is brief and moving so you will have no problems with camera shake at low hand-held speeds.
Camera may have a Fireworks setting? Ed.
Surprised. Even my Nikon Coolpix compact has this. Ed..

I'm not.
Those kinds of scene settings are mostly seen on p&s and maybe bridge cameras.
Not on prosumer and pro interchangeable lens cameras.

I agree with John.
And so does Canon.
