This past weekend was the first of a handful of spring scrimmages for the NC State volleyball team. A lot of fun to watch and see coaches/players I have not seen since the fall. A few images from the scrimmage for your viewing pleasure!

Shot with a Z9 and Tamron 35-150 f2-f2.8 lens. Most shot at 1/1000, ISO 5000 and aperture in the 2.8 range.

Great shots! What do you use for noise reduction?

I like the Topaz products. Depending upon how much work needs to be done I go with Sharpen, Photo AI or Denoise. Photo AI when I want an overall adjustment, Denoise or Sharpen when I want to work on the subjects and not worry about the background. Hope that makes sense.

It does. Looks like it's better than Lightroom that I use. Thank You!

For me Lightroom does not work as well. Plus, it takes a lot longer than the Topaz products. So I do basic editing (cropping, light adjustment) in LRC then let Topaz do its thing. The images are pretty close to what I want when I send them to Topaz, but I like to tweak them just a bit. I guess I'm a bit of a pixel peeper! LOL!
