Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

100 ISO is really too low because you need to brighten the image so much that you get more noise compared to shooting at a higher ISO that requires less image brightening. I shot at 2500 ISO and the image is not great either. Need a large sensor to capture more photons and a tracker for a good result without noise.
I don't know what you really mean by brightening. I don't do post processing, my computer doesn't have the horsepower (HP? lol) to handle RAW files. This is in-camera JPG. I did take a series of shots with different iso and exposure time. I forgot to try a smaller aperture at long exposure for possibly better sharpness.

Below is a crop from a high iso setting with shorter exposure from that same shoot. Very noisy. I was going for an image that had the same overall "brightness" as seen live - give or take a half stop. In comparison my Wife's new semi-pro Canon EOS R7 has low noise at high iso.

IrfranView is a good free and not huge program that has a lot of features. It's updated a couple times a year. Here's some of the photo editing option but there are many more picture handling operations it can do. Get the plugins too if you download it.

Did you mean Capture One or lightroom processing? Or some in camera post?

I guess I am stuck in the film days - all done with proper camera exposure settings and maybe a bit with filtersand then in the darkroom with Tri-X. I gotta get my head around the fact that a digital image doesn't exist without processing. This coming from a "no tone control" audiophile purist - back when I could hear.

I didn't say anything about post. I wanted to see a comet picture your wife took with her R7, a camera with an ISO_invariant sensor that gives a very clean, much less noisy image in low light. I was just interested in seeing how the picture taken with the R7 would compare to your image from the K-7.

And push and pull processing, dodging and burning etc. The image pipeline is different between analog film and digital image sensors. ISO denotes the light sensitivity of a film emulsion but ISO on a digital sensor refers to gain. They just called it ISO to not confuse everyone but this causes confusion in what this means for digital sensors.

What bothers me is that digitally stored imagery doesn't exist in physical form. Can't see them without the use of electrically powered computer magic. "Look, at my 8 Gibble Bits worth of images on this hard drive." ;)

All our important family and vacation pictures are on film. Grandpa started this using B&W and Kodachrome. and I continue this habit with B&W and E6 reversal films. I also print important-to-us digital images because digital files are not tangible.

Me at a few months old with my parents and just with my mom. The prints on fiber paper appear unchanged after 48 years. There may be the faintest trace of yellowing but grandpa selenium-toned all prints for long-term stability. Granpa has Kodachromes going back to when it first came out and they look great. Most of our E6 chromes look good but half of them show a slight color change and some show significant color changes.



I think I hypnotized her and she fell asleep. Maybe she dropped me and nobody ever told me. It would explain a lot.
