bob_bill Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Gup, I too had a problem Monday morning with the site just flashing on and off. I just waited a bit and it worked later. Sometimes using Firefox seems to help. I had a tech work on a new computer and he tweaked this one and the problem which was constant on google chrome is now gone except the occasional issue. Hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 AS I mentioned before, I think, this site became completely unusable overnight on Vista. It suddenly kept loading and reloading, jumping and flickering, and to get anything done at all required multiple tries to hit the lucky moment between flashes. It never stopped reloading. I found no setting that worked, and it was just as bad in Explorer as in Firefox. It works fine in Win. 10 with Firefox. I hope you figure something out, Gup, because many here like what you post.

dcstep Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Thanks. Actually the exposure was only 11 seconds on this one at ISO-6400. Overall I tried to limit exposure time to less than 20 seconds, with ISO-3200 exposing longer, etc. I have been using Imagenomic's Noiseware for years, which is really good. Perhaps I should try out something else as you suggested as well. Or perhaps this image is as far as it can go. Lower ISO will help, for sure. At 3200 you would have still been under 25-sec. Really good noise reduction is a big part of the answer. Do a trial of DxO Optics Pro 11.4 and put their PRIME NR on this image. All of that colored noise will go away. You may need to play with Luminescence to retain detail. I find that their Luminescence setting is a little too aggressive for my taste and push it down to 30 on their scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssvane Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 A gulf fritillary on a thistle shot outside Slidell in Louisiana. The shot was made with a hand-held 70-300 mm (at 300 mm) and not a macro lens - hence the ever so slightly out of focus :P 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
