Some soccer

[Nill Toulme]

The usual available darkness — ISO 3200 1/400 f/4 (with extender in #1) and f/2.8 (without it in the rest)...

Can hardly wait to see what the Mark III will do for shots like these.

Nice shots...
3200? Wow...just wow!

[Asher Kelman]

I was thinking, hmmm! Nill will be so impressed, this guy is able to catch really the peak of action! Maybe we have a new star. Then I realized we still have just one Nill Toulme!

Is this with the 70-200 2.8L IS and the 1DII? could you share the settings and are you using the * to set focus? Is this servo?

Thanks guys. 400 f/2.8L IS on 1D Mark II. Yes, AI servo of course, AF on * button via CF4, M at 1/400 wide open.

The recipe, FWIW, is this: RAW, Capture One, Magne Hi-Sat profile, C1 NR slider set one above default, i.e., 3 of 4, C1 sharpening off, levels/curves in C1 including black point raised as necessary to mask background noise and add pop, web image converted from C1 tif with BreezeBrowser Pro HTML module, with more or less default sharpening. Easy. ;-)

great timing and captures!! that 400 is a sweet lens. i'm *really* looking forward to seeing your shots with the 1dIII :)

Nill:

I was wondering where you were. I was thinking mmm it's soccer time and i don't see Nill's stuff; now I know where to look. Great stuff as usual and I can't wait to see what you are going to produce when you can shoot at ISO6400.
