This is so amazing how the bird killed the worm before eating it.
You know that I am fan of yours, do you? Great pics as always.
When it is cloudy or shady, my ISO is going up and I end up with the bloody noise. I should use exposure compensation instead. Would it work if the background is dark? Or if the background is grey sky?
@nelinoeva It is an honor to hear that you are a fan of mine 😀 Thanks
ISO does go up when it is cloudy. We can't help that. Exposure comp works to some extent when the background is light but if the overall light is too low, we have to go to higher ISOs. One of the solutions is to use the noise reduction in software postprocessing such as Lightroom or Photoshop but that comes with a penalty of reduced details. It is ok to have less details sometimes with action shots such as the ones in the post. It is always a trade off
Thank you very much for your advice. 🙂
I have a light version of Lightroom on my tablet and sometimes I used it to reduce the noise. But someone once said, better to have a photo with noise rather than no photo.
@nelinoeva Yes better to have photo with noise than no photo. Lol. Very true. However, do use the Lightroom. You may compromise a bit on details but not really too noticeable if you are only publishing on the web. For print, we require hi-res images and details, if soft, are immediately noticeable but on the web, we can get by and have pleasing images in spite of some lost details.
I don't print my photos, so I can do such compromise.
Thank you very much for the advice.🙂
