Thanks.

Took it at Lake Hood AK just prior to sunset.

May I ask, what is the settings you guys have used on the mark 3?

E.g the standard settings of 3,0,0,0?
Or mostly use custom settings? What settings you guys set?

I find that using standard, my colours are more to the yellowish side.

Mind if you guys share?

I shoot using raw and correct in post if necessary. If I am going to be shooting hundreds or thousands of shots, at an airshow or the like, I'll use the Expodisc to set white balance so I can avoid it in post to save steps later.

Hmmm correct me if i am wrong. Even if u use expodisc to set white balance, won't the 4 basic settings like sharpness, contrast, saturation, tone not take effect? It will right?

Yes i am referring to shooting hundreds of shots. If i have the time i would shoot in raw. but for fast events usually i shoot jpeg.

What about other photographers here?

When shooting raw, the settings for color, sharpness, tone and contrast as well as the picture styles are not applied to the raw image itself. You will see it applied in dpp on the monitor, but the file itself has none of these effects applied to it until you save it with those settings as a jpeg in this instance.

If you are going to shoot using jpeg, setting your white balance prior to the shoot is paramount. Invest in a quality white balance tool.

I don't know, i shoot sports only football at the moment and i end up with many photos as well, somewhere between 100-300, and if i shoot 2 football games at same day then it may end up around 500 or 600, let's say if i talk only about 1D3 camera, well, even in those football games i shoot in RAW and i use standard picture style and Auto WB, the results are great 99%, sometimes i see the colors off due to the lightings condition maybe, never tried to shoot airshows to see, but i will always shoot RAW with Auto WB unless i shoot in day light in open space then i may choose daylight WB, i have large CF cards [8GBs] that are enough, once i will buy more large CF [16 or 32GB] then i will use one for my Canon or i will use those large for my Hasselblad H4D and use my 12GB for Canon then 12+8+8 will be enough for me for thousands RAW maybe.

Which Focus Screens of you guys use on your 1D MKIII

Lovely stuff. As a matter of interest what tracking speed have you set on these, mid point slow to medium or medium to fast?

Thanks. I pretty much always use a slow track when shooting bikes.
I have a hard enough time tracking them with a 400mm & extender without the camera playing tricks on me.

Great question!

The beauty of the 1D3 is that I always shoot BOTH formats: RAW on CF and JPG on SD. Both at maximum sizes...I made a mistake of doing some work set at small jpg and won't do that again.

I have the jpgs so that I can pull them out and stick the SD into someone else's computer if they want the "snapshots". I also use jpgs to upload pictures of the kids' theater and band events to FaceBook. I keep the RAWs in reserve for post processing when required.

Self portrait!
