From Arran.

A grab shot.

But I like the bonnet of cloud.

Having been a long time film photographer I have an aversion to grain in Landscape photos. But does the noise/grain in this picture ruin it for you?

That picture has a WOW factor - great capture.

 

I don't find the grain intrusive on two counts : 1) I'm a Lumix FZ superzoom user (noise is a fact of life - in fact, your grain is very like Lumix grain  ) and 2) as a film photographer, I remember we generally just had to put up with grain rather than obsess about it. In fact, some photographers used it very creatively.

That is a stunner

That's a lovely view, and in this case, the 'grain' is certainly not objectionable, it just seems to fit with the cloud and mist as if you're seeing the scene in a dream.

It was never like that when I was in Arran it was more a sheet of rain

[Creativesnaps]

I don't find it a problem at all. Cracking image.

It was April last year.

Complete mix of weather so good for photography. I had a walk uphill into snow which made for ok pictures.

You are too kind !

It is when I come to print out at A3 that I am found out.

I had a Lumix FZ28 which I liked a lot but fell between two ideals ie noticeble lack of top quality when printed to about A3 but too big a camera, with hood fitted which was a bind to put on in a hurry, to fit inmy pocket.

Regarding grain I have no problem with it in documentary/sport/street photography but it seems, to me, to get in the way in Landscape photos.

Yes, I can understand both of these points. I got my FZ38 because it gave me all the zoom I could ever want, in one (lightish) camera. But you're quite right about the size, though anything with a large sensor capturing the same focal range would require a suitcase full of lenses. The sacrifice of quality at large magnification is the inevitable price one pays. Luckily I only ever view on a computer monitor so print quality is not relevant.

 

I also agree that grain is least desirable in most landscapes.
