May I ask what PP you did?

You can PM me, if you'd prefer.

Thanks in advance.

Great action! Well done! Just watch your horizons as in 6&7...you can crop them straight in PP as you can pick a vertical subject in the image, the top railings in your case, and make sure they are parallel to one side of the frame.

John,

very good quality shots. About the best that can be had shooting ambient light. what lens did you use? 70-200 f/2.8 and used the zoom? The inside shots are really good focal range. The last shot looks like at 200mm with the really nice BG.

Very Nice, especially at 6400. I am also interested in the camera/lens combo used. Also what (if any) noise reduction was used.

Thanks -

Not alot of PP on these. Everything I did was in Lightroom, including a little white balance adjustment, some slight exposure adjustment and then sharpening and noise reduction.

Thanks Ron! And you are right about the horizon issue, I don't always catch that.

Thanks! These were shot with a 1D MIII and 70-200 f/2.8. Just used Lightroom for noise reduction.
