Nice work, I love noise. I am very nostalgic.

Tie the end of a piece of string around your camera lens and the other end around your foot.
Pull taught and hey presto you have a monopod that will fit in your pocket and two stops.

I love this shot. When I have to shoot with high ISO like this I use a Photoshop plugin called Topaz Denoise. It does a great job at removing the noise from the image while leaving the detail almost untouched. It gives me the ability to shoot at a higher ISO and still feel good that the shot will turn out. With that said however I do not see a big problem with the noise in this shot. Sure it has some but not to the point that it makes the image one to hit the cutting room floor, it I think adds a little to this image. I really like the shot.

Nice shot Simon. If you're worried about noise, you could easily shot at 1/50 hand held at 47mm so you could have managed with ISO 800. That said, I think the noise isn't too bad and in some ways adds to the atmosphere.

I looked at your very nice photograph dear friend...Of course I am not an expert any more but lke your bright focus and neat composition. No one can isolate himself so objectively from the beauty of a Christmas tree...To capture it so minimalist way like you needs perfection about composing ...Congrat my friend for such beautiful photo...

Heh, it's hard to give advice to someone as experienced as you are...

Just in case you (or someone else reading) overlooked things like these:
- find the nearest pillar or any other stable object you can use to lean your hands or camera on
- roll your finger slowly over the shutter button, don't press it
- even better, use timer release (2 sec) so as not to shake the camera by pressing the shutter
- breathe in before the shot, shoot while slowly exhaling
- keep your hands close, form a mini triangle, lean elbows on your belly/hips
- build your own lightweight improvised "monopod" that can fit into your pocket: [link]

This is a rather static scene, at 47mm you could've easily gone down to ~1/50th of a second (depending on how shaky your hands are) even without any of the above things...

Hopefully at least one will help
Cheers,
D.
