ty_mickan Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Just took some quick shots with a D3 on the weekend. I found the noise at higher ISO to be a finer noise than that of my D200 and looks great when converted to B&W. http://www.photo.net/photo/6908435 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Haven't taken the plunge to buy one yet then Tom? I'm pretty happy with my D300 at ISO 3200. Even 6400 is OK when it's needed, which so far has been *never*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthuryeo Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Tom, Quite amazing. I guess the issue of color noise disappears when monochrome is the target color space. Thanks for highlighting this capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthuryeo Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Did u run it thru any noise-reduction in CaptureNX or PS ? Was it shot in JPG or Raw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ty_mickan Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 This was shot in raw. I was just in the shop checking on the progress of my D3 order. There were levels and curve adjustments and unsharp mask in PS CS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 As Arthur points out, if you convert to monochrome, you can cover up a lot of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaglow Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Tom, A couple of things make me curious and I wondered if you might help me understand: 1) The D3 that I used at 25K ISO was FAR grainier than your shot, in a number of conditions. 2) I shot at nearly completely dark room for a couple of shots, and while the exposure was good, it was at 1/30th at about f/4. Is your shot at night, or during daylight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ty_mickan Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 My shot was during the day inside of the shop. I think if i had taken this outside, the grain would be less prevelant and in darker conditions, it would be more noticable. http://www.photo.net/photo/6909283 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterh Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Tom nice shot with interesting artistic juxtaposition: The high tech D3 meets "current technology" for household applications. (Current pun intended.) :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkka_nissila Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 It's quite remarkable. I typically convert everything I shoot at iso 1600 on the D200 to mono and the results are typically quite acceptable - people like them. With color - yuck. I haven't had a chance to need ISO 25000 on the D3 yet but I'm sure I can come up with some use for it ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivek iyer Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 When Kodak announced a thermally developable B&W film with such high sensitivities, a year ago, it caused a stir. I enquired with them only to find out that it would never make it to the production line. Yes, they (High ISO, B&W) do have their uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen dommisse Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Is this a crop or a full frame photo? I can't make up much out of a 800 x 600 jpeg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ty_mickan Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 it is a full frame picture and i uploaded it at around 1400x??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
