My family was celebrating Fathers Day at my brother's when a huge thunder storm rolled in and chased us all into the barn. I didn't have my tripod with me and the kids were pretty much unstoppable so I knew I had to keep my shutter speed up. Although I ended up with quite a bit of noise I think it works for this shot. I think pulling out any more noise would have not let you see the rain as well. I would like to hear your thoughts on it.

I like this. And I tend to agree about the noise.

This tells a fantastic story, especially the two boys on the left side staring out at the party-spoiler, and the exhausted, exasperated dad. I love it!

I really like this, especially the lighting on the faces, hair, etc.
The noise doesn't detract in this case.
Are the two youngest kids (boys? ) twins?

Thank you Linda and you have the story so right. "Daddy" is my nephew and those are his twin boys. He is worn out!

Thank you Itene. It was the light that attracted me. It was just too cool to miss. The boys are twins. My niece also has a set of twins.

I like this shot. For me there is a story to be told. The adult, “what am I now going to do with these kids”. The two on the left “we want to go out and play”. The two on the right, one say into to the other, “why you asking me why it’s raining, I dunno”.

An excellent photograph. Love the lighting, the positioning of the figures and the atmosphere all enhanced by the noise.
In the days of film I would often use fast films to give a granular effect. Sometimes (through lack of light) it was necessary, but occasionally on purpose, but always trying to use it to enhance the photograph.
Noise doesn’t always work (as it has done here) as well as grain, but I hope to try some shots at high ISO to replicate grainy film photographs. So I would suggest that although this is a first don’t let it be the last time you use noise on suitable subject matter.
