You saved my butt with the dark frame thing. I'd never heard of it before... Went out tonight and took some long exposure photos of some lightning and came back to all kinds of noise that I was having a tough time fixing. Set up my camera to the same settings, took it in the bathroom with the light off and the lens cap on, and shot 3 dark frames and used your technique and HOLY CRAP what a difference. Thank you! Subbed.

Super helpful video! I barely knew how LENR worked in my camera until I found your video but I had no idea about the black frame and filter option. I like to keep my photography process as simple as possible compared to others who will add more lenses, filters, programs, processing times so my main question is How effective is LENR compared to the black frame technique? In most cases, will it be pretty close or does the black frame method remove more of the noise?
@mikesphotography
Жыл бұрын
Thanks very much! I think getting dark frames is more effective the more you take, however if you want to keep the editing to a minimum, then LENR is a perfectly good way to do it as the camera is basically taking a dark frame and then comparing it to the photo you took. Thanks for watching 😁👍

When using the Scratch & Dust filter, can't you mask out the sky from the foreground and then apply the S&D filter to the foreground only? Also, would you suggest having the LE-Noise-Reduction turned on in camera, and still do black frames?

This is fantastic! Thank you Mike. I doubt it exists (at least in my editor), but have you heard of any way of hot pixel reduction in video? My t2i has some enormous hot pixel clusters dead in the center that are quick to rear their ugly head in video. Iso 400 is somewhat alright, but by iso 1600 it's a mess. Thanks, Noah

Hey Noah, Thanks man, I had fun making this one. There is a way of removing them in after effects. I think by using the line removal tool. I had a similar issue with my 6D a few years ago. I’ll see if I can find the video....

Mike Smith How s about the sharpness of the image ? Any drop in quality of the image? I normally use “dust and scratch” tool in Ps to eliminate the hot pixel and it needs to be apply sparingly otherwise the sharpness of the image will be dropped more or less.
