Post Processing Software Really is Something Else These Days

So this is a single frame from a shoot out under the stars in the California desert a couple months back.

It is shot at ISO 3200, 20 seconds at f/2.8.

It was a throw away frame from a set I was shooting to stack in Sequator. It's a throw away because a car way off in the distance behind me turned it's headlights on and sat there for a while. This flooded my foreground with a level of sidelight and contrast that I just didn't want for my image. Because of this I decided to omit it from my stack, and instead process it as a lone image to see how good Adobe's new de-noise option is (inside Lightroom and CameraRAW).

The short version is that it's pretty darn good.

It was 100 ° at 11 o'clock at night, and this shot is 50-something in on a series of 20 second exposures at ISO 3200. This means my sensor was likely VERY warm, and as such would have flooded the image with noise and hot pixels.

Adobe's de-noise software really does seem to work like a charm and took care of a ton of the noise without destroying the details in the foreground and (more importantly for me) the sky.

'Nuff said.

Let's go exploring.

Refugio en el Universo

Refugio Punta de los Roques / La Palma 2019

6840 ft / 2085 m

On May 26th I started my first multi-day hiking trip into the mountains of La Palma. I choose parts of the GR-131 trail - better known as Ruta El Bastón - the famous trail of the Transvulcania Ultra Marathon. I started from Regufio El Pilar and wanted to hike two days to the Roque de Los Muchachos. On the way there is a cabin - the Refugio Punta de Los Roques - where I have planned to spend a night for photography. The Refugio is perfectly located and offers the best view at the Cascada de nubes.

In the end, the main panorama became a composition of 97 single photos. Meanwhile I was almost laying on the ground while shooting due to the freezing wind and I could hardly feel my fingers anymore.

One year later this image became the cover shot for my longterm astrophotography documentary „Canary Lullabies“

EXIF: Nikon D810 + AF-S 50mm

Panorama - 97 Frames

ISO 3200 - f/1.8 - 10sec

When he went to Scotland he didn't expect to do Milky Way photography, but when he realized it would be perfectly placed above Glencoe Lochan it was a no-brainer! 🤩 By Mads Peter Iversen on Twitter

Alien Worlds

I had the opportunity to go out and spend some time under the stars out in the California desert this past weekend, and other than losing $300 worth of tripod and the fact it was still 100° at 10 o'clock at night I had a great time.

Here I've captured the northern dusty end of one of the arms of our very own Milkyway galaxy arching over some pretty cool foreground intrest. This was the last of a few hundred long exposure frames I captured during the night over the course of 7 or 8 different compositions I had found. The ambient temperature and the large numbers of long exposures meant that this frame was LOADED with noise and hot pixels.

To counter noise and hot pixels I typically take between 10 to 15 frames of any given scene and then take two or three dark frames so my post processing software can identify the hot pixels and remove them for me. In this case because this was the last shot of the night I took this as a single frame I didn't have the usual set of exposures needed to properly complete an image. As such I used Adobe's new de-noise software in the CameraRAW application. It works pretty well, but because the noise and hot pixels were so bad I really had to crank it up for the foreground and it overly softened much of the detail to be found there.

Still though, I'd rather have the shot than not.
