About the Image(s)

One of the challenges of joining a non-photographic tour is having little control over timing and lighting conditions. I captured this scene in Iceland from a bus travelling at approximately 80 km/h, using 1/640 sec at f/4.5 with Auto ISO. Unfortunately, the ISO climbed to 8000, resulting in considerable noise.
Surprisingly, Topaz AI Denoise didn't give me satisfactory results, while Lightroom Denoise worked much better, although it took longer. All other adjustments were made in Lightroom. For me, this is part of the fun and challenge of travel photography??”making the best of less-than-ideal conditions. I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and experiences!
