Not too much else I want to do today with heavy smoke in the air from the Caldor fire: I am in Sonora, CA, far from it but smoke travels hundreds of miles above us and it has been smothering the Motherlode area, the Northern California foothills and the Central Valley. So, photographed some birds in the yard trying to get action. I discovered, however, that 1/2500 of a second is too slow for these birds so will try again tomorrow with a higher shutter speed. Topaz DeNoise AI does a really nice job of smoothing out high ISOs, which today were in the range of ISO 4500: will need to up that tomorrow. Nikon D850, Nikon 500PF, LrC, Topaz DeNoise, PS, all as needed. Adult and juvenile Jays and a Titmouse.
