I processed it in LR only cropping a little bit, reducing the highlights and slightly increasing the shadow slider.

This is certainly not an exciting shot, but I am concerned about it. I took it at 7:30 a.m. with overcast skies. My speed setting was high because I had been trying to take photos of these birds in flight and didn't have a chance to change it when this Tern landed.

As this was only the second time I shot with the 1DX II, I wasn't worried about the high ISO. My previous 1 DX could handle very high ISOs without noise. Not so with the new one! I did not reduce the noise yet in LR and/or Dfine in PS because I wanted to show you how much noise there is!

After spending $6000 on the new 1DX, I'm very disappointed. Do I need to have it calibrated with all of my lenses? Frustrated!!!
