Yes, that's literally true (or was before the Russian army visited). The ambient radiation in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, which is all you'd see on a map, is only slightly elevated. The main risk there is of disturbing the ground or abandoned debris and exposing much more dangerous material buried just below the surface.
Shot and tweaked on a Pixel 6 Pro at 4x (nominally around 100mm, but in macro situations it actually upscales from the main 24mm equivalent lens, not the 103mm periscope telephoto)
I don't qualify (I haven't posted yet) and don't need another light anyway. But I'm excited to see some familiar faces over here, and hope to see this place grow.
Topaz does a really nice job on the noise, and it's very noticeable in the fur.
I'd like to see the whole image be quite a bit brighter, personally. It's really hard to see the detail in this.
