Hey great looking pics. Looks awesome. I have never been to the Fernbank. I need to go one day. I have one recommendation for you. I assume since you were indoors you had to use a higher iso, 1600, since there probably wasn't adequate lighting. You should invest in a noise reduction program. I suggest Neat Image or Noise Ninja. The pics below I used Neat Image. Both apps are inexpensive and they make it a stand alone product or a PShop plug in. Either one is awesome. If you know anything about torrents, you can steal(download) the full license app for free if you don't want to buy it.
Open another browser or download these and compare my pics with your originals. You would of thought they were shot at iso 200 instead. To run all three pics took about one minute or less in the program
