Experimenting with long exposures, as in real long. This was 4min 15sec with a 16 stop filter (10+6 stacked). Just a single shot so DR is decent, only issue is these types of photos are not well handled by I-XT, for some reason it generates a while speckling effect particularly in shadows. LR doesn't, but it's terrible at sharpening xtrans...
Thanks

The white speckling in the shadows is more than likely noise form this long of an exposure and LENR should reduce if not eliminate it.Yep I had LE NR setting on, doubling the exposure time. The white speckling is there in LR but amplified greatly in I-XT, however if sharpening in I-XT is turned off it goes away a bit. I've noticed this shadow speckling in most long exposures I've done on the XT1. It seems different to hot pixels, which are largely eliminated, it's like coarse white grain with random placement.
I haven't noticed this on my X-T2. but I also haven't done anything longer than 30 seconds.
Back from a trip to Botswana. Wonderful landscape, wildlife and people. Starting with a first picture from the Okavango-Delta with some more to come ...
