    Thanks, most noticeable noise seems to be in the low contrast background not so much the bird. Is there some editing software where you can select certain areas to remove noise (namely background areas) leaving the subject untouched? Thanks

    Hi Norm, i bought a cammo net from decathlon and a couple of line props for 3 quid each to hold it up.

    Poor RAW quality downloads to pc

    Hello, Can anyone tell me why the RAW images are significantly worse than the JPEG image? when the files have been downloaded to the pc the image looks ok for a couple of seconds then changes to a really noisy darker image. The images were shot on Nikon D5600 with 200-500m f/5.6 VR lens shot on...
