Out of interest what focal lengths did you use for those aircraft shots??

Dayglo!

(maybe ease off the vibrance slider a little )

[GeorgeStorm]

On which?

Each only had a small bump, and it didn't make much difference really.
The Lily was very orange

This was the original (unedited other than cropped)

[kalniel]

Both have very saturated looking colours. It's fine - photography is art not documentary for the most part, some cameras are set up to push colours by default anyway

[GeorgeStorm]

Yeah, as you can see, the original was still rather orange, the main reason I took both of those (and another on my flickr) was due to the strong colours, really stood out and caught my eye while looking out of my window

quick mess around with 5DMK3 & 100 2.8L - Should of shut down the aperture some more to get the front in.

Very nice subtle colouring.

What are your impressions of the MkIII?

One without trees from me (still being loyal to Pentax despite some great opposition).

Hi kushtibari!

We first hired one a couple of months back, to cover an 3 day event / conference - I used a lot of the filming features (really important for me) which was really great, and a good step up from the 7D filming feature set.

The ISO and noise handling at higher levels, good as well - helped a great deal with the lower lit evening stuff / party shots - and focusing system is a big improvement from the MKII

Was kind of thrown in at the deep end when we hired it, didn't get to test it out on my own terms. BUT - although now, we picked one up (for keeps) this past week, so I'm going to take it out to a nice place on the weekend and get some macro and landscape stuff?...we'll see how the weather goes.

Kushti, who are you going to use for the IR conversion ? ProTech ? Had some great reports about them from my IR gang in AVF recently.

[kushtibari]

Just emailed him mate for a price on the K20D Dave - thinking 830nm.

Cheers for the crack on the MkIII

Edit: They don't do Pentax Dave.
