Low noise v High Noise Processing Video

Many thanks for this Video Steve
You asked what we find…
I shoot Wildlife on Nikon gear using a D6 and Z9.
I am based in Glasgow where at this time of year you are lucky to have sufficient light by 09.00 as its frequently Cloudy and Misty.
My subjects are generally birds, and even on my 600mm f4 FL, images need cropping.
I always use a Gitzo Systematic Series 5 tripod, and a Wimberley Gimbal head.

My strategy is as follows:
I arrive at the hide in the dark.
I start with my D6 until the light improves to ISO 4000, and then switch to the Z9.
The D6 seems better at handling higher ISO than the Z9.
Normally I limit the Z9 to a max of ISO 4000, but am happy to take the D6 to ISO 10000+

I process images in Lightroom and Topaz De Noise ( I am not keen on Topaz Sharpen

PS- I must experiment more with lower shutter speeds.
