In southern China, men adorn unique costumes and perform the Grand Opera in ethnic villages. This picture was taken as one of the actors was getting dressed in a very dark room. I thought the ambience was intriguing as was the lighting from a window at left, so I raised the ISO to 25,600 and took the picture with a 14mm lens. My settings were 1/100th of a second at f/5, hand held.

Rohinton Mehta - Nice shot. Some questions pop to mind.
1. Is the picture shot with a full-frame (35mm) or APS-C sensor camera?
2. How much more noise would be visible if one uses a APS-C model (assuming the above is shot with a full-frame camera)?
3. For non-moving subjects, would you recommend multiple exposures (along with Photoshop) to get rid of noise?
Thanks.

Rosemary Sheel - Doesn't look noisy from here! Love this kind of shot. We see into the life of an average family in China...kitchen and living room in one area, the stove that looks as if it is made from a bucket or pipe...Fascinating!
