@Bill: The noise is charming. But I can mix the pictures less hard to make the noise less visible:

Autumn colour road signs. Df, 135 DC

(the text reads '[the] road is closed 400 m ahead' -- in cause any one wondered)

Frank, The green of summer does indeed remain, nice tones.

Birna, Colors of Autmn: Nicely done!

high ISO on the D850 makes for some nice abstraction

Frank, how do you leave the chrominance noise intact while removing the luminance noise in such a beautiful way?  When I open my D750 image shot at ISO12800 in ACR, the chrominance noise is already gone.  There is just the luminance noise...

Switch off Noise Reduction in Camera and in NX-D then work from there.

In this case I simply used the "Auto Color" filter of "DevMacgyver Photo Editor for Android" ... a rare case making it so easy.

Plus: The chrominace noise level of the D850 ist MUCH higher than the chrominance noise level of the D750.

Both pictures are ISO 16.000 IIRC

Thank you for the technical details.  I always deactivate the in-camera high-ISO noise reduction.  The SOOC jpeg files shows lots of chrominance noise, but the RAW files don't.   

I found the latest NX-D (with the U-point control) struggles with the highlight recovery of contrasty images and thus uninstalled it.

Fall colours oaktree (Q.palustris).



D500  18-140mm f/3.5-5.6

@Fons: the tree is a great find. I am not sure if the inclusion of the HooWah Alarm Sign gives me much...

Depends how you pronounce it

This is sweet, John!

I feel a strong perspective.  What trick did you use?!

Hematids?  (I'm enjoying your recent abstractions!)

Just ordinary willows leaves in combination with the power of my 135 DC Nikkor.
