I empathize with the defender in the second one: "where the hell's my backside help?" "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

I cover 10 schools sports programs for out local paper and some of these gyms are horrible. My settings are as follows Shutter priority set at 350, shooting an 135mm 2.0 for court shots. Under the basket and with breakaway layups and dunks a 24-70 F2.8. My Iso is between 800 and 1000 depends on lighting quality and I shot everything in raw format. check out my website for samples

Shot with an iso of 1600 and F2.2 for most of the shots with a SS of 500. looks oversoftened to me... a bit of noise isn't bad, when shall people realize that? Still learning on this one. Used Noise ninjas default settings. I am still yet to develope an eye that catches the difference from being just correct to being oversoftened. Matt Merciez

Croasdail making stuff up  More info | Dec 10, 2006 09:19 | #8 Hey - these look great. One little tip, try going in and upping the blue value by a between 5 and 10. This will cut the green tint from the darker complected players. Shot 1 looks great, shot 2 has a bit of green cast to it. It's a nit. Other then that... very cool shots. Cheers.
