Enjoy cleaner high ISO shooting

In the editing world, there's often more than one way to achieve the desired result and, for reducing noise in high ISO images, one approach that works well is noise stacking. This is where you shoot three or more exposures at high ISO handheld, in a burst and then blend them together in Photoshop, taking advantage of the irregularity of noise to achieve a cleaner image.
