Low Light High ISO
May 20, 2019 11:18:47 #
The pictures presented here were taken in a badly lit wind tunnel room at I Fly. I took these Saturday. I bought a package deal for my son, daughter-in-law and grandson to try something different as a family and something they should remember for a long time to come.
I am posting in this section because of the noise factor and PP that was used to reduce the problem. First thing you will want to know is the camera and setting.
Camera - Nikon D850
Lense - Nikon 24-120 mm
ISO set to automatic but all shot at max 25,600
Aperture- f/4.0 as low as it would go.
Shot shutter priority 650
Exposure compensation set max all the way to the right.
I was shooting through a plexiglass enclosure with strong lights above and below. Many reflections on the glass.
The noise reduction I used was learned from this video.

I moved to Photoshop to reduce some of the reflections on one of the pictures otherwise all edits were done in Lightroom.

Something I would love to try. I like that you were able to get right in close to make the viewer feel they are RIGHT THERE! Awesome.

They look great and what super views you captured! #3 has a lot of impact (no pun intended 
).

Looks like a fun adventure. If you did not state the high ISO I would never have guessed these were shot t 25,600. I think you did a good job on the final images, particularly under the circumstances.

Give it a try Erich. But I will tell you it is quite expensive, to me anyway. They had a great time and will remember it for a long time.
BTW I was right there. I was about 5 feet away in some of the shots just on the other side of the glass.

Good job; looks like fun! 👍🚀
They said it was. Our grandson said he would do it again. The instructors at level one only let go of your for a few seconds.

Thanks NJ. I was a bit surprised at the high ISO too. The camera was at its max for low light, and set for rapid fire, continuous. I took about 300 pictures in 10 minutes. Lots of smiley faces.
