AWESOME in flight capture. :O) #8453199Michael Umbreit March 14, 2010
Thanks! I was panning but the shutter speed was fairly fast so it is mostly stop action. It was taken hand-held. Some of the settings are 260mm, F/5.6, 1/640 sec., ISO-800, spot metering and +0.3 step exposure compensation. I did use a few Topaz filters to get rid of noise and bring out the colors, light and details. - Mike #8455234Mitch Spence March 17, 2010
