With Adobe Camera Raw Denoise


No Denoising

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

The new crescent moon along with the Pleaides.

Specific Feedback

Any feedback appreciated. Any idea what might be causing the pixelation? It is saved at maximum quality.

Technical Details

Nikon D850, Nikon 400mm f/5.6 lens at f8, 1/10 sec, ISO 3200. Single frame. Processed in ACR and used the Denoise to reduce the noise, but I am not sure it if has produced the pixelation. I do not see it in PS where I finished the photo.

Another wonderful juxtaposition! (I think you got the crescent and the Pleiades together a while ago, too?) The quality of the stars is wonderful!!

No clue about the pixelation, but I got it last evening, too, and will have a look at my frames. I was after the hint of earthshine and shot at 1000mm and 600mm (the range of my 100-500 zoom with the 2X). Totally missed the Pleiades, but got a tree.
