photo i took of a well known Monkee!

errrrrr.....monkey. a squirrel monkey, shot from one of my wildlife blinds with a nikon Z8 and 500mm nikon f/5.6. too much lens for how close they come to me!

the light was low and i shot this at ISO 5000. the image was noisy, which is not surprising from a high resolution sensor in low light. i would have never posted it online except i tried lightroom's new AI denoise and it works like a miracle. the noise disappeared.

if you came here looking for something else....here ya go:

Very nice!
Show us the “before” shot so we can see what the denoise tool achieves, if you would please.
Thanks for all the great photos!

I now use Photo AI routinely for noise reduction and presharpening raw files, then Sharpen AI for final sharpening. They work wonderfully.

I love the bokeh in your photo too. You nailed the depth of field perfectly.
