Oh b****r looks like my D750 is affected by the recall. Will they do it as I brought it from Panamoz?

How long does it take usually?

They honoured the previous recall, so cannot see any reason not to this time around. As for how long ... Piece of string time, mate; from what I`ve read.
 
Which 105mm was used for that pls? Sigma or Nikon.

Brilliant bokah

Nice shots - any pp on the eyes in the first?

Yes just a little sharpening and slight exposure bump, I thought after that it may have been a little overdone. I have a tendency to think it looks about right but then looking at the pic latter feel I've overdone something and then pull it back a little.
 
Well I've filled out my return form just got to wait now if it's not back by the end of April I'll have to take the Fuji but I'd rather have the D750 with me

As per last time, great set of pics. The shadow recovery (and PP skills) on the 7th still impresses me (y)
 
I have a technical question. What are your thoughts in terms of these two approaches and impact on IQ. For the sake of argument let's say tripod use is not considered and handholding only

1. Shoot close to base ISO as much as possible (100-800) and then push for shadow, apply adjustments and apply NR
or
2. Shoot at higher ISO (800 to 6400) and then make some adjustments and apply NR

Anyone has done any comparisons to see which turns out better or which works better for a particular scenarios?

Haven't done any comparisons myself, but keen to hear the thoughts of those who have. :)

I remember reading in a few places that using a higher ISO was always better than pushing the image exposure in post.

Not done anything specific, but I find for my bird photography, I would rather have a sharp image with noise rather than lower with less sharpness. This maybe just be me, due to my un-steadiness I always shot at a higher shutter speed. Also, If under exposing, doesn't it create more noise anyway?

Personally option 2, it's just less work in post!

I have the same thoughts and I think getting a sharp picture is more important and hence Option 2 always works better. But for low-key shots, Option 1 can be a better choice where pushing is less important and processing will be different. One advantage I see the D750 has over D610 is less purple or colour noise at high ISOs.

I was hesitant with shooting over ISO 3200 when I switched to full frame with D600. Not because of D600, but a mindset I had where my D5100 could max out at 800 for good shots t my taste. Now I keep my auto ISO to max of 8000 and not worry too much.

Been plenty of evidence to show that you can get perfectly usable shots at 12800 ISO too (y)

As for the original question, it is my understanding that getting exposure right in the first place reduces noise. However, with the marvels of tech it would be interesting to experiment as the D750 recovery is superb. I would suggest that using a tripod would be a better test though as it negates camera shake. I might give it a go one day ;)

Not quite. The higher the ISO the more noise you will incur. No amount of 'getting the exposure right' will change that.

At the upper levels and with sharpening it can be reduced. However acceptable this is is in the eye of the beholder.

If you use a tripod there is no need to crank the ISO, you can use low ISOs that will pretty much eliminate noise. Conversely, if you use a flash gun then there is no need to crank up the ISO. Hope that short explanation helps.
