Thanks for posting these amazing shots.

If you don't mind my asking, what camera and lens and what post
processing did you use?

Cheers,

Indrek Aavisto


The exif for all of those shots is intact, and I wasn't using anything too
exotic, a Nikon D300S and the Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 G VR. I shot
AF-C continuos, with focus point tracking. I shot around 1,100 frames and
had to work through them for keepers. I am still working. ;-)

All of the shots I have cropped, made RAW adjustments in Lightroom 4, and
finished in CS5. I used NIK Define 2.0 for noise reduction, and then made
a few contrast/levels curve tweaks, added the "frame", and saved back to
lightroom.

Thanks for the details. I'm surprised that you only rated these pictures at
two stars. I would have said at least 4.

I have the VRII version of the 70-300 lens, but can't seem to achieve your
levels of sharpness and detail with the lens on my D7000

Cheers,
