Lipizzaner With Rider

RogersDA

First image post in a long time. This was an indoor show with Lipizzaner Stallions. Lighting was spotlights arranged around the arena. This was taken with a Canon 5D MII and an EF 70-200 f/2.8 lens @ 170mm, f/5, ISO 1600.

I agree with Azzaro -- beautiful

I even clicked to make bigger -- Did you run this through a denoise program or is the 5D MII that good with noise set that high?

Howdy David,

That is Stunning Portrait of Rider and Horse.

Really great detail and true colors.

Very nicely done!!!

Thanks for the comments.

To further expand on the processing - the camera was set for AV (-1 stop exposure comp.) @ 1/320 sec. For this capture the on-camera high ISO speed noise reduction was disabled. The image was imported into Lightroom 2.4, cropped, and some dark/light balancing done. No other adjustments were made.

You've showed that if you take a photo well -- little editing is needed

Thanks Mary! I don't get things looking right very often.
