Create Noise-Free Images Using Exposure Stacking

Unfortunately, they cannot create noise-free images at high ISO just yet. I am sure the day will come soon, but in the meantime, there is a very simple technique using Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo to create the illusion of a clean file. Noise is very common at high ISO or when shooting a long exposure. While for some photography genres, it might not be that big of a deal, for others, it can quickly turn an image into an unusable file. Reading forums and discussion groups on the web, I see a lot of landscape and astrophotographers looking for the best solution to remove noise and create stunning, clean files.

Extreamly Swirly Bokeh - Short Tutorial

Over years, I collected some 20+ Helios 44 lenses. (If you never heard of this lens, it is Russian copy of Zeiss Biotar 58/2, one of my favorite standard lenses). I did so partially out of curiosity to see how many variations I might discover (it is believed that anyone who would like to learn about all Russian lens variations, would need highest degree on the Hogwarts University) and partially because they are real bargain, being made in huge numbers.

Serve per qualsiasi stampa con molti particolari quasi bianchi, spighe, prati, vecchi muri, visi sudati, da non usare per nuvole e neve perchè superfici troppo estese che verrebbero facilmente bruciate. le stampe vengono molto “fineart”. Sbianca parziale: Preparare la soluzione mescolando: ferricianuro 15 gr. / bromuro potassio 6 gr./ sodio carb. anid. 8 gr. in 1000cc (consiglio di pepararne molto meno, dura tantissimo ma se ne usa veramente poca), io solitamente faccio una bottiglia da 250cc.
