Unfortunately, the source photos contain a lot of noise. Probably all because of the unusual ISO that I set in the camera and other option that has been turned on. I’ve been experimented and realized that the settings I had on the camera definitely sucked. Today I think that I know, what is the key steps to taking good photos.
