Hi Bros,
Just came back from a trip in Paris and took some hand held night shots. I got a couple of pictures with extremely 'noisy' dark skies.
I've uploaded one such picture here (http://www.mediafire.com/?gtyn1tg0ymy). Download the full picture. You will see that the dark sky is dotted with lots of white dots. I can guarantee you that they are not stars.
The lens I used is a Tamron 17-50 f2.8.
The EXIF is as follows:
