Hi all,
This is an image I question posting, but I'm curious to get feedback on. This is a juvenile night heron shot in Florida a bit ago. I wanted to see how the D500 could handle the really high ISOs (especially moving from a D3300), so I cranked the ISO here and overexposed this shot. In post then, I corrected exposure, did some tonal adjustments, and added some saturation and vibrance back in (more than I usually do but I felt the image looked washed out). From there I sharpened the bird, did some noise reduction on the bird, and then pretty heavy noise reduction on the background. I also cloned out a weird red blotch on the beak. This is full frame. Obviously many of you are much further along the Post Processing journey so I am curious to see if people think this is worth keeping or if it should be binned.
Camera: Nikon D500
Lens: 200-500mm f/5.6 at 360mm
Specs: 1/1000 ISO 14400 f/5.6
Thank you for looking,
Alex
