Here are some sunset images of a Belted Kingfisher. These images were taken at the Skagit Wildlife Area on Fir Island, with the Nikon D500 and the Nikkor 500mm f/4G lens.
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, please remove if this is the wrong place.
How do you get your pics posted here to be crisp and sharp? The Milky Way pic I posted is quite fuzzy on this page, but on my macbook it is pin sharp and clear. I assume I'm doing something wrong as I made the pic 900 on the long side and reduced until I was at 500kb.....ended up with a very fuzzy Milky Way which does not do the Nikon D500 any justice at all, the original pic is superb straight out of camera shot in jpeg large fine.
I've always shot in raw, but was inspired to give in camera jpegs a go after seeing Trenchmonkey's pics on this forum. I agree, shooting jpeg is almost like a religious experience and I find it far more satisfying to get a decent image straight out of camera without having to post process than shooting in raw and then faffing about trying to process the thing........I don't enjoy post processing at all, it's a real pita.

Recently I shoot RAW on XQD and large jpeg on the SD card. When I click back and forth seeing the images at 50% or larger, I see the same color and contrast but the jpeg file's sharpness has a serious boost to it. Still, I am a RAW shooter, not into the jpeg editing.
Would someone can post some D500 landscape with AWB Auto2 and saturation +3 ?
As I want to know how's D500 performs in warm AWB and more color saturated.
1 shot...Group AF...50 yds...crop
