p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Help? D500 High ISO quality for Basketball (samples shown) | |
Please let me know if I need to move this post over to the Nikon Gear forum.
I recently got my D500, and love everything about it. However, when I shot a couple of basketball games, I was expecting better files at higher ISO's. With much of the talk, I didn't figure I'd see as much noise as I am at 2500 or 4000. It seemed like most users felt as though the D500 was good to go up to 6400 and even 12800.
The question is whether or not I'm being too critical OR am I not using optimal technique and/or settings OR are these as expected? Maybe it's the rescue involved in some of my photos where I did not get exposure right in-camera?
I've posted an unedited original, a close crop of unedited original, and my edited final version with Lightroom 5 Noise Reduction applied (slider at about 33). Other data listed below
I appreciate any help or feedback.
Thank you,
Scott
