Did the Dot-Tune on all my lenses yesterday, I *think* I see some slight improvement on the Tamzooka. Subject distance here was about 710 feet.
Both at 600mm, f/9, ISO 250; the pair was 1/100 sec, the single at 1/200 sec. Tripod and remote mirror-up. Dam Fawns by FredMan, on Flickr Dam Fawns by FredMan, on Flickr |

You may remember Tripod, the 3-legged doe we've had her eon the farm since 2010. She's been hiding the past few months; caught one glimpse of her last week but nothing before that since mid-April.
Well, it appears she's been busy teaching her offspring how to survive in a harsh world. Tonight she posed with one her daughters from last year, and one of her grandchildren. Tripod, keep it up! You're the toughest deer in the Commonwealth! ISO 10,000 Tripod 20170727 by FredMan, on Flickr ISO 16,000 Tripod Daughter by FredMan, on Flickr ISO 16,000 Tripod 3G by FredMan, on Flickr |

This was probably one of the best pictures I took while on vacation in Melbourne Fl. this past week. My son wanted to get up early and take a few sunrise pictures with his iPhone. I didn't feel like dragging my rig out to the beach again, so just went with my Samsung Galaxy 7. We were heading back to the hotel when I stopped and looked down the walkway and had to take this shot. For me, this means the Pathway to Peace.

@FredMan
What are you doing in post to cut down on noise? I shoot a lot in very low/bad light and would love to be able to stretch out the ISO, but above 2500 it just goes to golfballs. It is usually action shots as well so no tripod. no ss under 1/125 and I try to use 1/160, and wish I could use 1/250. f/3.2 is as low as I want to go so I don't tank the DOF. Any ideas welcome. |

View Quote Shoot raw. Expose to the right! @zack3g is the ETTR ambassador and it works. You don't want to blow it out, but bringing exposure down in post for some reason helps inhibit noise. Bringing exposure up if underexposed will always introduce noise,. I'm doing some sharpening, and then using the masking slider to smooth it out a bit; not too much or it takes away detail. I then fiddle with the luminance and color noise reduction sliders and try to strike a balance between noise reduction and detail loss. I also fiddle a bit with dehaze, that's an amazing tool. Again, not too much. I often find I have to bump exposure a bit after dehazing. Here's the same image cropped, but nothing else. You might notice it's not particularly noisy to begin with, that a function of the D500 sensor and a little bit of overexposure. EXIF for this image was 600mm, 1/640 sec, ISO 8000, f/9. Dot tuning the Tamron has definitely improved sharpness; that lens isn;t known for being razor sharp but for my purposes it's sharp enough. I'm in love with the 600mm too.
