[QUOTE="todd7500, post: 648156, member: 44095"] Hi! I have a series like this. It was not the best way to shoot, in fact this was my first outing with the D7500. But that doesn't make a difference because no matter what I shot, I would have had the same conditions. I wanted to stop the action so I needed a high shutter speed, 500th might have been to slow. In fact when I do it again, I will try at 1000th. At a 500th the ISO is at 10,000! this lens is wide open at f4, so I know there is noise. I was close, about 20 feet from the horse and rider as they turned on the barrel so I didn't want to use flash to spook them There was lighting on all sides of the arena so I couldn't find a position without shooting into the lights. If I had permission, I would have sat on top of the fence rather than shooting thru the rails. (Although part of the beauty is the low angle) I have the RAWs and JPEG files so I can work on them. I know the focus is a little soft but given the speed of the object and the shutter speed its acceptable, but I can do a little in post. What I would like to do is to get the background sky to go more to black and reduce or remove the size of the flares from my lens and the arena lights. I think I can clone out some of the trash from the background (like the cranes, light poles and power lines). These are SOOC so I haven't cropped of recomposed them. Please let me know if I need to post them in some other way to allow you all to review them properly (I don't use any photo hosting but can send them) I am not asking you to do the work, just show me how, if that's possible. Thanks in advance TW [ATTACH=CONFIG]273289._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]273290._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]273292._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
