Northen Lights in Wisconsin USA

[Michael Ellestad]

Hey Folks,

Was on a week long trip in Wisconsin and on my last day got this colorful display of Northen Lights.

See pics in my blog since I don't know how to upload pics to our forum

Hi Michael!
Greeat pictures which makes me jealouse

But you could try to reduce noise and hot pixels in your photos. Especially this one is terrible.

Andreas,

I understand the noise reduction problem you are describing but I have the noise reduction enabled and for some reason it does not clear it all the way. If noise reduction was not on it would be a WHOLE worse than you're looking at. If I can find a way to make my Nikon D-100 reduce noise 100% I would do it because I don't like it anymore than you do.


Regards,

Michael

Maybe you need some good stuff

For removing hot pixels: http://www.bessere-bilder.de/hotpixel-entfernen (German, but you will understand)
For removing noise: http://www.picturecode.com/

I use both of them (depens) and the results give me satisfaction

Greetings, Andreas

PS: I never enable the noise reduction of my camera
