Flight II (121/365)

Pictures are from yesterday, hopefully you can forgive me!

You know, I persevered yesterday with the “Bone Leveler” and “Tissue Puncturer” after all!

I experimented with some new denoising software and was pretty happy with the results. Most of the time, it was a toss-up between DxO and Topaz Photo, but maybe more often than not, Topaz came out on top. I almost think Topaz comes out on top with their sharpening more than the denoise.

I can’t help but think how much better things would be if I could shoot these with the Nikon. At the very least, they wouldn’t be anywhere this noisy, and I’d have some more shadow recovery. You can see a couple of Nikon Full Frame Hummingbird shots down in Stray Pixels to compare. I didn’t even have to denoise on those shots, and I think they look much better than the OM shots.

You know what this means, don’t you? I need the Nikon Z8. Just Say’n.
