And my first was a bust. I don't deny the obvious, the 2 examples here are out of focus. I'm not posting them because I think they are good (although I do like my composition), I post them so you can see where I'm at and I hope you can help me get where I want to go. I'm not going to be a pro sports photographer. Apparently there's no market for them anymore. And my lungs prohibit me from moving around the court (or the fields), but I would like to get the occasional action photos at a much higher quality than these.
D810, Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD at 70mm, f/4, 1/200s, ISO 3200.
D810, Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD at 70mm, f/5, 1/250s, ISO 6400.
I know the D810 is s'posed to be good at producing low noise images at high ISOs, but both of these had what looked like a lot of noise to me. Here are 2 unprocessed crops at full resolution:
ISO 3200
ISO 6400
The amount of blur in these shots tells me I need a much higher ISO in order to get my shutter speeds to somewhere around 1/1000s. Do you think the noise removal in Lightroom is going to make them acceptable pictures - not so much for local news publication, but for those who may want to print and hang them on their wall? I usually only adjust the Luminance and Sharpening Amount sliders, sometimes the Masking. I'm not familiar with the uses of the other sliders in the Details panel.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
