Low ISO VS. High ISO + Denoise: WARNING: You NEED To See This Before Your Next Shoot!

In this video, I explore the common myth that "high ISO noise doesn’t matter if you have noise reduction software." Through detailed comparisons of low ISO vs. high ISO images, I reveal the limits of denoise software, including Topaz Denoise, Lightroom, and DxO, and discuss essential field techniques to maximize image quality from the start. You’ll gain insight into proper ISO settings, best practices for minimizing noise, and techniques to achieve sharper, cleaner images in wildlife photography.
