I seriously need a Mk III... What is your Post Processing like?

Outstanding shots, I love the contrast and light :)

Outstanding. :thumb

You nailed it! Perfect exposure! :bow:bow:bow:bow

And in a very tough setting to boot! Well done!

What is your Post Processing like?



Post processing consists of:

Review gallery for throw-aways (OOF, immediate redundancy or uninteresting)
For each photo:
Another review - once in Photoshop I may decide the photo is not good enough or too redundant (same type of shot from same player as earlier in game)
cropping
If necessary, correct color or levels. I set maual exposure but sometimes there are shadows so some shots will need some levels work. I also usually set a custom WB (although on this one because of the daylight coming in I was able to leave it on auto-WB and the camera did a beautiful job on WB) but occasionally you still get a color cast on some photos so I'll correct that. So this step is on a minority of photos.
USM
save
After all said and done apply a batch noise reduction in noiseware pro based upon the ISO I used. This was a HUGE reduction in my PP workflow time. I used to just use the plugin and do each photo - horrible. Now that I've gotten better at my exposures I just run a batch job and let it crank away.

This is absolutely a strong suit for this camera. The colors and contrast at high ISO is absolutely amazing. My old 20d had very good noise performance at higher ISOs but the color detail, saturation & contrast was lacking.

John,

Great shots. Love the saturation that MkIII is giving :thumb
