Hello Michael,
In your recent article on shooting at night you said "Why is the presence of in-camera noise reduction an issue, when what you wants is noise reduction? Simply, because most cameras are again far too heavy-handed when it comes to NR, and being able to season to taste on ones computer is almost always a better way to go."
I have a D700 and am wondering if this camera falls into the category of "most camera" when it comes to in-camera noise reduction. i.e. should I be turning it off and using Lightroom or other software tools to clean up noise? What is likelyto give the best results, considering I am shooting night scenes at around 6400 ISO.
Thanks,
JD
NB - I also noticed something annoying when I do long exposures but at a low ISO (either ISO 200 or artificially low 100)- I seem to be getting a lot of noise - anyone care to comment? I am shooting 2 and 4 minute exposures at dusk with a dark filter and am trying to capture movement of clouds and water in a sort of mist-like texture. I get fairly grainly results though.
