Bigginhill - Mustang & spitfire

Please comment. this was my cousin's first airshow and he's too shy to post on this forum even tho he has registered!
400d and 70-200 2.8 IS with 2x
1/200"
F29
ISO 800

I thought this shot was just excellent!!! hence i'm posting this on here on his behalf... do let him know what you think so he can learn.

thanks...

oh the grain!!!

great shot, but he could ahve dropped the iso and bumped up the aperture...

^^ heh. i know. i told him to lower his shutter speed for the props but i guess he forgot to check his ISO (he only just started into photography end of last year) but the grains works for me well.
it's a shame i can't take him to RIAT next month - would be a good practice for him as well...

I think the grain makes it look more like an older picture. Nice one!

^^ i wonder if this pic would look as good on sepia or black and white?!

Other than the noise, awesome shot!

Ran it through NeatImage, hope you didnt mind.

thanks Stoosh - i thought about doing that too (but didn't have any software installed on my machine as it was freshly reimaged over the weekend).
unfortunately, i can't look at any images whilst at work so i'll have a look at your image when i get home tonight.

If you like, send me a .tif and I'll run it though so you don't get any loss of quality from compression

hey stoosh - just looking at the pic now - and wow! definitely an improvement. i'll get a tif file from my cousin and send it to you (if you dont mind)

thanks

Love the improved sharper pic
