Here is a short clip of fireworks in Canberra. Taken hand-held with the S9 + Sigma 45mm, MP4 lite format.

Do you have any de-noise tools? If you'd like, link me one of those totality raw's and I can try running it through the one I use.

I don't use anything, generally. There's a BlurXterminator plug-in in PixInsight I use for deep-space astro shots, but in general I try keeping the ISO setting low to prevent noise from being generated in the first place - it's a relic from my film days, I guess.

Dunno if this will work, but there's an RW2 file here:

Last weekend I had a short studio shoot with a very nice young lady. She is 21, what is not believable in some of the pictures...
