I mentioned previously how I was pleased with some new software I have been using for a while now. Well this is another of those posts. This isn’t just about the software but also the camera. When I first started in photography, I shot film because digital wasn’t a thing yet. For nature photography, the most popular films had ISO’s, or speeds, of 50 or 100. Anything higher tended to have too much grain for the nature photography market. So with that background, I’ve always been hesitant to use high ISO’s even today. But a few weeks ago, as I went into Yellowstone, cloud cover made the light really low. Seeing this fox, I had a choice to use a lower ISO and most likely have blurry, unusable photos, or go higher than I like and hopefully come away with something. So I went up to ISO 6400 and shot away. I was really happy with the results straight out of the camera. As noted in the caption, I was shooting my Canon R5. I then ran the photos through Topaz DeNoise to clean them up and the software did a great job getting a clean, low noise background while keeping the detail in my subject. Again, I don’t get paid by either of those companies and I don’t receive the products for free, but did feel like sharing the success of using both as it does open up more possibilities than in past.
