EOS R1 Image Thread

A few more. I will start pushing up to ISO 12,800 and higher.

R1 EF 500 f/4 II, 1/2000, f/4, ISO10,000



with Noise reduction in LR




with AI Noise reduction in LR (25)


I am starting to push higher ISOs to see how high it goes...but this is 1/2000, f/4, ISO 4000 no noise reduction

Afternoon light tends to be better at my feeder, but with the holiday coming up and a number of storms running through, I thought I would take a few this morning and may post more when I get better light.

R1, EF 500 f/4 II, 1/2000, f/4. All taken at my feeder. R1 is giving me a focal distance of 8.99 m/29.5 ft, which is about right. All of these are exported as cropped, down to about 3 MP.

ISO 12,800, no noise reduction


same image with AI Denoise in LRc (set to 30)


ISO 20,000 no noise reduction


ISO 20,000 w/ AI Denoise (30-35 range)


ISO 25,600 no noise reduction (minor processing)


ISO 25,600 with AI Denoise in LRc (32 if I recall correctly)


Another at ISO 25,600

With AI Denoise from LRc


I am seeing the impact of higher ISOs not just in detail, but the colors are becoming harder to manage and the DR is taking its toll, especially in highlights. Initial thought is that it may be better to underexpose and work harder to preserve the highlights at high ISOs.

But I am impressed. On an uncropped image, you could likely even go higher. Cropping, I think this may be the maximum I will want.
