    Suggestion: I'd very much like to see a tutorial (or a live stream) on CP1 Noise Reduction.

    (I recently had to use ISO 128,000 on my Fuji X-T5 due to very low light. The camera reviews say results at this ISO are "acceptable" but I'm sure that my image could be greatly improved by good use of this tool ).

    Thanks for the feedback Simon.  That is a good suggestion for me to look at.

    128,000 Is pretty high!  What were you shooting out of interest?

    A train, so needed a fairly high shutter speed. This is unedited except for resizing.

    Simon Warren I almost think this shot would look cool with some motion/blur but not too much. Maybe 1/40s depending on how fast it's moving?

    Seems to me that 128000 is definitely usable at this scale. Which still seems mad to me!

    As Jack W says, if you can pan / capture with a low shutter speed that can make for a great shot.

    If it's doing 200 km/h might be more of a challenge.  :D

    Motion blur is a useful suggestion though not easy to anticipate the speed of the target. My interest is the background location and composition is top important. Only a few steam trains pass in a year and always late evening. I took this shot for practice. The noise shows badly at 100 percent and does degrade the detail more than I'd like.

    David must have posted at the same time as mine sent. I can't pan cos background must be recognisable, but motion blur might be great if the loco I was planning for is smoking enough.
