Hi,

Here is an early (Winter)morning air to air photo.

It was rather cold and foggy, at least I was a bit more protected than the guy in the trike :shock:

Happy shooting.

Yes, it does, will take the doors off in summer :wink: But I would rather be dry and warm and flying than wet and cold but with a clear view, and maybe not even flying..... :wink:

Dawn Patrol

Postby Rudix » Sun Mar 11, 2007 5:10 pm

Departing for a dawn patrol sortie from Petit :D

Image

The light was quite low so this photo was taken at ISO 800, showing the limitations of the Nikon D200, I had to remove a LOT of noise, now if I was using a Canon........ :twisted:

Happy shooting,
Rudi

Either way it's a great picture! Apart from noise PP you didn't adjust anything else?

Hi DF,

Thanks!

No, other than reducing the noise there was no other PP. RAW "developed" with C1pro.

Those are beautiful. But don't you get trashed in that kind of landscape in hot weather and winds?
