I find this subject really stressful to be honest but really want to nail it. I read numerous online articles, books plus take advice from other photographers but still not getting what I am after. Each time I take shots I get masses of digital noise (pixellated shots) within the image. I am either doing something incredibly wrong or my camera just cant cope (hope its not the latter). Well after 90 minutes of freezing, even though its not even winter yet I decided enough was enough and came home to see what I had caught. Can say that 2 images are not to bad out of the 20 I took but still getting lots of digital noise on the image, anyway the one in the post is possibly the best BUT I have just looked at the original file and it looks better than what you are seeing here (highly confused, possibly the conversion to a smaller file).

This was taking on a Manual setting which I set at the following, Aperture F11, Shutter Speed 15 secs.
