-= 1D MkIII Owners discuss =- and Post Your Pics

Are you 1D3 owners just better at post-processing? The shots in this thread are really convincing...

PP is at least 50% if not more in making an image appealing - assuming exposure, composition, and lighting is flattering. IMO.

That's a considerable amount of PP. I'm trying to step my game up with post, but it's slow going. Honestly, the exposure, composition, and lighting is a work in progress as well. Indeed, I'm my own worst critic. I guess that's why I don't have a lot of shots posted on this forum.

Conversion in Nik Silver Effex Pro 2

WOW. Awesome capture! Now I feel bad posting my pics... they're not even close to what you see here. LOL!

Don't feel bad. It's not a competition.

Believe me, there are many photographers who leave me feeling highly inadequate.

Did you take the above pic with a B&W conversion in mind?

Poor bike, my first play with the new camera. A LONG way to go, no PP, just raw to jpeg in LR.

CC please!

Wow, some really awesome shots here guys/gals!

I've recently become a new owner of one of these and though I'd post some initial pictures up!

I had a 5d2 before this body but regrettably sold it before the birth of my first son, Ryan. But this body came up for sale and I grabbed it for a great price, after checking the serial number (57****) JUST to be sure

I've been mainly shooting motorsport but I'm going to try my best to start capturing anything I can, especially my son

Not specifically B&W but I knew it would end up being a study in contrast and tones because of the conditions that day.

Not even sure how it auto-focused in this place, it was so dark, but it did.

Nice photos, but that is so wrong, on SO MANY LEVELS.

Wow! Now that's a classic!

Very nice shot, panning and prop blur are very good. Didn't know someone was still operating a DC6.

Jay, it is a classic, but what a pain they are to work around. Company I work for used to fly 14 of these and you never knew from minuted to minute if they would break or not. Maintenance hogs they are!

The DC-6 is very much still a workhorse in the state of Alaska. It is suited very well for this state, except for the coldest of days, and continues to get the job done.

A large majority of the airstrips up here are less than 5000' so it necessitates an airplane like this that can carry a payload of around 30k lbs and operate off of these smaller strips.
