Matt Laur Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Note: In the interests of balancing performance and quality, the topic of image file size and dimensions as normally posted to this recurring thread is under discussion elsewhere in the Nikon forum (the topic is obvious when you look) - please check in there and comment if you have thoughts to share! That's the best place to talk about that particular topic. For now, consider keeping uploads no larger than 1600 pixels on the long side when it matters, and sticking with 1000 pixels when the image feels no pain at that resolution. On data size/compression, try to keep things under 1mb, shooting for 600kb when you can stop there. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here: Guidelines for Nikon Forum Wednesday Image Threads. For now, we're sticking with 1, 2, or 3 images per week as you see fit. I was going through some 2007 shots from Italy, taken with the ol' D200 and a 70-200/2.8 VR1. Shot a bunch from a high-altitude switchback climbing out of the Veneto plain up the foothills of the Dolomites towards the kinda-Alpine town of Asiago. Yes, the cheese originated there. We spoke almost no Italian, and if the folks in town spoke much English, it wasn't obvious. Happily, my wife's German played better up in those mountains than our other struggles (so, we got a nice lunch). Never the less, I was looking at this shot down into one of the valleys, and in Where's Waldo mode, spotted a home all alone up on a chunk of mountain that I'd never before noticed. It's fun to find surprises. Share some, this Nikon Wednesday! A 100% crop tells the tale: Edited October 26, 2022 by Matt Laur typo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_simon Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 At 6 AM, dawn in the Pantanal, we saw this black vulture on a floating caiman carcass trying to figure out how to pierce its skin to get a meal. Shot at ISO 25600 (the max on my D500) and denoised in ON1 software. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_halliwell Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) 10 hours ago, david_simon said: my vulture shot I asked, as I had shot (!) a Black Vulture the other day, not in the Pantanal, but sunny Hampshire UK, and was surprised just how very BLACK they were... ..and how shadow recovery was so very noisy. There's little hope of sky detail AND underwing detail together, and flash is cheating...😉 If they didn't move so much HDR might work.

david_simon Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Normally I wouldn't shoot at dawn let alone ISO25600 but it was a once in a life time photo. Here are a couple more taken in the late afternoon. for 5449 I added 1.33 EV and then about 1.5 stops in post processing . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
