3 weeks into having this program I'm taking shots in the past that I would have probably put the camera away. The 1st 2 shots no Topaz needed the last 3 absolutely.

All shot with a D850, 500mm, F5.6, SS2000th, Auto ISO & WB.

Thanks for looking any and all comments welcome.

BTW the last shot is my grandson taking a knee for the last play and his 1st win as a varsity QB.

Richard,
Nice set! Topaz denoise did a great job on the high iso (you probably wished your ss was lower for those 2). Do you shoot jpeg, raw or both? I find that my in camera (I use a Canon R6) noise reduction for jpegs is really really good at high iso, so I never shoot raw for sports. Rarely I use Topaz unless I have motion blur.

I shoot raw I still like to have all my options in post. Topaz is changing the way I think it's like starting the learning curve all over. The 4th photo the runner was on the move so even at such A high ISO Still got a good capture. The last one we got the ball back with enough time to take a knee twice I was heading for the exit I just dropped to a knee pulled off the lens cap and fired away. This week I'm going to start lowering SS. It's all a process thank you for your comments and questions on this post and others.

Still learning

Excellent results notwithstanding the hi ISO.Thanks for sharing Richard. Send us the next set when you lower the SS. Congrats on your grandson too ! Paul
