[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 812271, member: 50197"] The first thing I would do is to bring the ISO down. The Z6 is supposed to have very good low light performance, but IMO 6500 is a tad high, especially since you are shooting off a tripod and can afford a longer shutter speed. I would also bump up to at least F5.6. Most lenses benefit from at least one stop smaller aperture. Not sure that would make a lot of difference, but worth trying. I ran the first image through Topaz AI software. It upscaled it (because the posted image was small), sharpened and removed noise. This all would work better with the full sized image directly from the camera. Finally, I downsized it for reposting. You could do all this using Lightroom or Photoshop, although I think Topaz does a better job at sharpening. Other editing software can do much the same things.
