So I have been having an issue w/grain-noise when shooting at a higher ISO (other than say 100!)
Today, I rented a camera/lens thinking well maybe it's my camera - but alas, I have the same issue with the rented one.
The camera is a Canon 5D IV - my go to lens is a Sigma Art 85 mm Prime.
I took my daughter out into the shade on purpose, different settings, different places, etc, all the same issue... grain/noise. Unless I shoot at 100 iso... which we all know isn't possible. I have studied, I've had a camera in my hand all my life, what am I doing wrong? Same with my husband, we are both stumped. His 7d has less noise! what! am I doing! I'm sure when you tell me I'll have a "duh" moment. The pictures aren't as bad when I export them as jpgs, but in LR RAW - they are horrible. This camera should be spot on with noise even at extremely high iso. I had to export it at 65% so I could import it here.
here are the settings for this picture, and it was taken in full shade. The only "adjustments" I made were to make it smaller on export so I could upload it here.

I might have moved her over one way or the other to avoid the edge of the tree or to expose it more. Critics are everywhere!
