Tuesday Night Football

Some pics from the game on Tuesday night, again these have been run throught neat image and some colour balance and sharpening added in PS...


Ta for looking

Marc,

Fabulous photos, the last 2 do it for me!!

What colour balance adjustments do you make out of interest? The colours and saturation of the pics in your last 2 post have been fantastic.

Incidently, what did you say to Robert Huth before the game to make him kick the ball directly at you like that?!

Also, a little off track, but what do you make of Neat Image? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Excellent captures. I would like to see them a bit more saturated and a bit warmer as long as you adjusting them.

Super shots Marc, I especially like the second-to-last, almost made me want to duck.

(Duck? did someone say duck? )

Really nice set Marc, I like the one of Robbie best, not sure why. Maybe it is because my father-in-law supports Spurs and Keane and it's rubbing off!!

Hi Paul,

The adjustments are minimal really, to be honest I dont fully understand the PP side of things.

All the pics I post have been run through auto levels ( I should use curves but speed dictates otherwise I'm afraid) and USM previously before I upload my stock.

So all that was done here was resize to 800 pxl's high or wide & push the 'hue' up to +5.

Some additional USM was added at the rate of something like 150, 0.3,2 So two burts of USM in total.

Re Neat Image...I like it, seems to give a reasonable result used on full auto.

Maybe one day after Xmas I'll treat myself to a decent desktop machine & monitor and sit down and start to learn the PP side of things properly.

HTH a bit

Thanks Dwight, as per above I need to educate myself properly !

I like #1 and 5 the best. Too bad the feet in the other shots were cut off...but the captures themselves are very nice. Must be nice to be able to get so close...wish I had the opportunity.

Good luck, and happy clicking.

I like the face on the guy in the second to last shot

Mark,

Many thanks for that, just given it a shot on some of the football stuff from Tuesday and it works well - give a lot more depth to the colours.

I see from the EXIF that you use Elements 4 for your editing - do you find that when transmitting pitchside that this is ok...as opposed to using an Action in PS CS2?

Marc , Very nice ...... Looks like you are enjoying that new lens .

Paul,

Yep Elements works fine, I can do all in that that I need to without taking up a load of space on the drive with CS.

Roy,

Certainly am, so glad I got it now

great pics what lens were they shot with?

I think it is a Canon 400mm 2.8.
