Hi there!
« on: July 31, 2016, 09:19:19 »
I have been following Bjørns gear reviews for years and they have helped me tremendously in my choices of lenses and bodies. I am Jens and I come from Copenhagen, Denmark. I spend much time in Sweden taking wildlife and nature pictures.

I have her since beginning May, quite possibly the best camera I ever had, including the D3. The only field where she is a tad behind is IQ and post production capability in ISO higher than 1000.

Well, I totally agree about the D3. I do not believe however the D500 is lacking in IQ when it comes to high ISO shots - not much anyways. I think it depends on the eyes that see and how much noise bothers you. One of the great advantages if you got a 600/4 like me is that you hardly need to crop anything anymore so you don't lose IQ to cropping as you do with f.ex. the D4 which I owned before. Of course the best of both worlds would be to own a D5 and a 400/2.8 for when it turns real dark and the D500 + 600/4 VR combo that I have but I can't afford a D5 and I am really happy with the 'reach' of the D500 so far.

This one is ISO 20000. I did a bit of post processing on noise but it is easy to remove color noise - much easier than say with a D810.

Supershot. Can you tell more about you post processing?

Sure. I opened it in Capture NX-D and removed color noise there by setting of 50 iirc. Luminance set to 0. Then I opened it as TIFF in Capture NX2 and did 30% 10 noise reduction there and added a little touch of contrast (+5). Last step was to add a Vignetting blur to surround the stag and a touch of Vignetting negative brightness surrounding the stag in approximately the same way. I added sharpness and scaled it to 2500 pixels. All set. :)

Thank you very much. The idea to create the TIFF in NX-D and use the power of NX2 on the TIFF never came to my mind. My second step is always Photoshop CC

After you have made a TIFF you can also save that as a new NEF file in CNX2. I do that in order to keep adjustments open. :)
