I don't know, but it's a wonderful photograph of a pelican as it makes it's first contact withthe water. The contrast between the dark water and background, and the pelican help make this photograph stand out. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

(note the ISO, and focal length. It was hand held) It is very noisy. Hmmm...is it cropped? Maybe you should have shot at 1/1000s and set ISO at 1600. MC It is a great capture, and with the D800 @ ISO 3200 is probably OK given the other exposure data. whay might not be zok, is the crop and high JPEG compression (94%)which is likely to leave artifacts. I am not going to allege a heavy hand in the area of sharpening this time around, but this is certainly a RAW file I would find interesting to try my hand with. ( that is if you are up to that Peter). -- Regards, Savageduck |

When hand holding at 550mm, I will take speed over noise any day. Now look at the image again. Is it still noisy? Since I am using my laptop, which has only a 14" screen, i tend to ignore noise and only make rough edits. -- PeterN |

( that is if you are up to that Peter). Here ya go https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97242118/20131222_Sanibel%20birds_0118.NEF OK! First some comments: The starting point for that RAW, as I am sure you are aware, was very under exposed. At f/14 I believe you have stopped down too much. I see you must have been using the 1.4 converter on your 80-400mm and that would have also exacerbated the exposure problem. I would have liked to have seen f/6.3-f/8, or just the straight 80-400mm without the converter. Because of the underexposed starting point there is a fair amount of luminosity noise, lifting the shadows to bring out more detail on the bird makes that all the more obvious. There is also a greenish color cast which needs fixing. So on to my fix. Starting in ACR I made most of the major exposure adjustments and a slight luminosity NR adjustment(I left the major NR for NIK Define). Into PS I cropped then applied a general NIK Define NR profile and then used the brush to selectively fix some of the areas with stronger noise. Next I used NIK Color Efex Pro4 and made some adjustments using the Pro Contrast adjustment. ....and the to Viveza on a couple of selective layers to deal with color, exposure and contrast tweaks. I have a few other ideas which might give me a better result, but for now here is version #1. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1295663/Fil...birds_0118.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |
