Twas a Foggy Night, Part 1

Nice...it seems to beg for a few more frames in which some sort of activity or change occurs...envisioning camera on tripod.

What exposure info does your file report?

@jtk 1/60, f/2.8, ISO 3200, I pulled the exposure down by half a stop in LR and straightened the horizon so the fence was level, then applied Adobe’s Landscape color profile, set the WB to Daylight, applied LRs lens corrections for the 40mm STM prime, and applied an appropriate amount of chroma noise reduction then cropped to taste. It was handheld out the window of the car.

I should have put more in the info, but was in a hurry.

Digi is amazing...

@jtk yes and no. Keep in mind this is with the new Canon EOS R. It’s 30 MP. You’re looking at an image that is scaled down quite a lot from the native resolution. Even if I did no noise reduction, it’d look pretty clean scaled down, but if you pixel peep the native size, 3200 isn’t particularly clean. In fact, it’s quite noisy.

However, as you can see from the image, with print output resolutions at 240-300 dpi, even a modest 16x8 inch print would be scaled down enough to mask a lot of the chroma noise if it wasn’t corrected, and would be fairly sharp with little to no input or output sharpening simply due to the fact that the native camera resolution is a pretty significant oversample to the output resolution.
