Can You Please Share Your D700 / D3 High ISO Shots At Full Res?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I've seen dozens of impressive samples in marketing booklets and online at reduced web-sized resolutions, but I refuse to be convinced by anything other than full scale specimens by real photographers. Please share your works of wonder at ISO 3200 or 6400.</p>

<p>Zero Noise Reduction and zero post work would be awesome. And 100% crops are nice but nothing tells the truth like the whole enchilada, yeah?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Cal</p>

 

<p>I compared the D3X vs. D700 at high ISOs here: <a href="http://www.photo.net/general-comments/image-attachment?comment_id=15264792">http://www.photo.net/general-comments/image-attachment?comment_id=15264792</a><br>

And this is the entire frame: <a href="http://www.photo.net/photo/9271651">http://www.photo.net/photo/9271651</a></p>

<p>And if you search the web, there are a lot of D3/D700 high ISO image samples around.</p>

<p>Look at this thread- discussion and 2 photos<br>

<p>Wow. Is it me or is there nothing special about the D3X's high ISO?</p>

<p>Most of the photos on my website (customized SmugMug) were shot with the D700. You can select a of a number of different sizes for viewing. I upload full resolution JPEGs to the site, and the site scales them down depending on the size that you select for viewing. The images are right-click disabled, however, so you can't download them to your computer. Sorry.</p>

<p>Thanks, Joseph.</p>

<p>Any chance you can post full-sized stuff? I'm not sure how much is lost in resizing down to web-friendly proportions. Also did you use NR?</p>

<p>The very fact that you can view an image means it is already downloaded onto your computer. Disabling right click is meaningless; it only blocks those who are very unfamiliar with computers.</p>

<p>ASA 3200, f/1.4 maybe</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks, Dan.</p>

<p>I visited your site but unfortunately I have no idea which images were shot at which ISO. I'd be curious about whether you turned on NR as well. Would you be able to clarify at all?</p>

<p>there's a been a little post pro on mine, but nothing significant. I don't use the in-camera NR.</p>

<p>I work full time as a newspaper photog and constantly am using 3200 and 6400 asa, even upwards of Hi-1.</p>

<p>Flawless.</p>

<p>That's the D3 you have, right, Nic?</p>

<p>Do you use Capture NX's NR? Also I'm starting to sound like a broken record here, but any chance you can post full res?</p>

<p>D700, same sensor<br>

At the office, I used CS3, at home I use Lightroom at first, then CS3.<br>

I typically prefer to shoot 1600 or below and shoot at f/2.8 or faster in order to isolate my subjects.<br>

Honestly, I don't use much of the NR software on either program.<br>

Here are 3 full size files, straight from camera. ASA's 3200 and 6400.<br>

<p>Check Flckr using their image tags. Occasionally people with Flckr Pro accounts will upload full resolution sample photos. So does dpreview.</p>

<p>Photo.net's discussion forums don't lend themselves well to hosting maximum resolution files, especially in raw or TIFF format. That's best done on one's own personal website or other file hosting service.</p>

<p>Thanks, Nic.</p>

<p>The three images look spectacular in low res. I guess photobucket.com resizes your photos automatically when you upload them. Too bad.</p>

<p>yeah. I've made cover shots on our paper (~12x17") at 6400, granted it is newsprint...</p>

<p>Also, Sports Illustrated had made cover shots at 6400 of that college football game last year from a D3.</p>

<p>True, Lex. I was just hoping for some links to robust webspace.</p>

<p>Hi Calvin,</p>

<p>If you'll drop me an email, I can send you more details about specific images. All photos currently displayed were taken with either a D200 or a D700. The D200 photos were taken at ISO 100 - 400. The D700 photos were shot between ISO 200 and ISO 1600. Nothing posted on the site was shot at a higher ISO than 1600. I didn't use noise reduction on any of these pix.</p>

<p>The Big Daddy's Diner photo and the Strand Bookstore photo were shot at ISO 1600.</p>

<p>My email address is listed on the website. Thanks!</p>

<p>Much appreciated, Dan.</p>

<p>Here is one at 6400</p><div></div>

<p>On the D3<br>

The D3 is unbeatable at high iso's. It may be hard to believe but I have many examples. Even stunning performance at moderately high iso's like 2000 or 1600.</p><div></div>

<p>100% crop</p><div></div>

<p>Calvin, If you want to be convinced, I suggest you go rent a D700 or D3 body for a day and shoot. And compare the results to whatever else you are doing/using. </p>

<p>Thanks, Shal.</p>

<p>Anything larger or 100% cropped?</p>
