I was taught to shoot at the lowest ISO possible to minimize noise. The original on the left was shot at 51,600 ISO and has lots of noise. The right side is the same image after denoise processing. I'm not concerned about noise any more.

In a presentation to NWPC Elizabeth Grey suggested that we not worry about high ISO settings. This is a test of that suggestion.
The left side is the RAW file without processing. The right side is the RAW file with denoise and sharpening filters applied. Settings: f 9.0|1/800 sec|ISO 51,200
