It's a given..

OP- here is your original and then the edit using photoshops noise reduction. It was set to 50%, so it could go higher. However I think a little background noise is okay. Plus if you used the raw / original photo, it would most likely come out a little better, but this is just to give you an idea...

Edit-


See, I wasn't LION...sorry, I will go punish myself for that.

Great shots mate, you've managed to hide the zoo really well and get some cracking shots.

I use Lightroom and Photoshop as well and normally the perform ok for a bit of noise reduction.

Beautiful shots.

Nice shot Robbin, even if everyone knows they're reptiles, not Gibbons

I thought Gibbons were reptiles. Man. Ok, guess it's time for a copy of "Understanding more than just exposure, learn what the hell critter your shooting" by that whats his name guy.. lol

I think you want the one written by Euell Gibbons. :lmao:

^Well that was weird. :mrgreen:

Anyway... a better way to reduce the noise is to not have any to begin with. On the lion shot for example you're shooting ISO3200 with shutter speed of 1/1250 on a subject that isn't moving. Next time you go I'd suggest practicing shooting at slower shutter speeds and lower ISO.

Yeah...what's up with the badly chosen ISO values and shutter speeds? Are you trying to be like the dPreview guys who reviewed the Nikon Df, and shoot at asinine pairings of ridiculous ISO values and inappropriate f/stops and shutter speeds???

"Okay...what we will do is shoot a lot of stuff at ISO 6,400, underexpose by one, two, maybe even three stops, and shoot all the old lenses WIDE-open! That'll be SWEET!" ;-)

Thanks Weepete and Desi - appreciate the info and the compliments. I do own an older copy of photoshop, have to do some reading and see if I can figure out where the noise reduction stuff is and how best to apply it, been thinking about getting NIK, or lightroom, or maybe both at some point.

Beautiful shots.

Thanks Sm4him

Ok, so doing an Amazon search for "It takes a Gibbons to know a Gibbon" now.. lol

Yup.. that was exactly the effect I was looking for - lol. Actually the lion photo I was shooting at the other cubs initially who were playing and in motion, had the shutter speed set at 800 initially. Then I caught sight of the other cub just sitting there, thought it would make a great shot and swung around and snapped - didn't realize I'd managed to hit the scroll wheel and bumped up the shutter speed in the process. Big, clumsy hands can be a drawback at times, but overall still happy with the shot. I don't always get the perfect settings when I'm just shooting from the hip like that.

Lol.. either that or a secret expose on the life of a lemur..
