what settings did you shott these at? mostly i'm wondering about the ISO. I understand your camera has very solid and pretty moderatly low noise at about 2000-3200. You'll be able to get a lot more help if you post the settings.

Yeah I was wondering the same are you doing manual settings are you setting some sort of prority?
Sorry for the delay. The weather here has been brutal!
How can I post the originals? They are large files and exceed the size limit.
Thanks to everyone for the replies and questions! I have spent some time looking around for the "right" settings. I have been shooting at either 1600 or 3200 ISO. I did crop, and automatic contrast, and sometimes color corection with either Picasa or Adobe.

Ah, sorry for creating confusion. No need to post the originals - what I meant was just resize the originals with no other post processing - no cropping, no levels adjustment, no ISO adjustment if doing raw conversion, etc.
I did crop, and automatic contrast, and sometimes color corection with either Picasa or Adobe.
more times than not, that auto color correction and contrast can throw off a picture greatly. sometimes it can throw off skintones or even make the noise mch more noticeable. be very careful with those!
OHH! OK I see what you are saying. I will post some pics with resize only.
On the auto adjusts, is that a universal thing i.e. any program that does auto correct or just particular programs? How would one correct color on a complete batch? I understand that settings can be set, but from picture to picture, I know there can be lighting fluctuations as well as others due to any number of enviromental things.
I am new to all of this and please bare with me if I am a bit slow on the uptake.
I shot about 350 hockey pictures last night. I will browse through and throw out the obvious bad shots, out of focus, out of frame, etc. I would like to be able to apply some type of corre ctions to the remainder as a batch. Otherwise I will have to go over each and every picture. I just dont have enough hours in the day to do that.

1. Skin tones look off. First guess is that images were underexposed and corrective action was taken in PP.
2. Looks like the images might be overcropped. There's a softness/lack of detail usually associated with overcropping.
Any chance you can post unedited versions of a couple of these?

I will get the exif data for the next ones.
Thanks.
