Eagles Vs. Cowboys (incl. Cheerleaders) PART II

Go to last post
Hi, I am considering a 60D. A couple questions:

1. What camera is this?

2. What iso were you using for these--quite a bit of noise there.

3. Did you notice all the banding in them, and do you know what causes it?

Thanks much.

Well, this is the 60D and it is an awesome camera. Some points to note reg. these pictures
  • Pictures were taken in what I consider adverse conditions ie limited range of lens ie 55-250 IS, so highly cropped, variable aperture lens did not allow me to shoot wide open requiring me to pump up the ISO to 3200, lens not fast enough.
  • I am not really sure about the banding. Maybe someone else can chime in
 
What, only three cheerleader photos?
 
I don't see any banding, but maybe that's just me. Like the pics...looking good for such a high iso and an admittedly very good "consumer" zoom.
 
Wow, great photos...very nice. I don't see any banding like the other person mentioned but there is a bit of noise on a few (which is to be expected at 3200 ISO on a crop sensor using a consumer lens...duh).

How were you able to get on the field, or were you shooting from a front row seat?

Great images...thanks again for sharing! :)
 
what banding are you referring to? Would you please identify what you're seeing in any one of the posted images.

OK, thanks for the info. Looking at them again, I think it is not banding, but rather some of the shots are so cropped that the noise is evident on some faces. But I think those must be 100% crops.

The pics that are not so cropped are impressive indeed.
 
Good job considering where you were probably sitting, weather, lighting & lens you were using :)

Different colors, but I think this will help :)

Awesome work, Karan, these do everything the ones in your last post didn't, IMO. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed looking (and not just at the cheerleaders)!

In your last post the limitations of your equipment seemed evident, because there wasn't much else to look at. Here, it doesn't seem to matter so much, because the content is so good. Even the very small crop of Kolb about the catch the shotgun snap looks fine to me because it's a good moment.

I've never thought of photography as 'finding beauty in the things that go unnoticed,' although that's a worthy philosophy too. My goal has been to find those moments where people would say, 'oh, you shouldn't bother trying to get that on film, it's a moment that just has to be experienced.' Those moments are the ones I strive to capture most.

I enjoyed the constructive criticism and took a "moments" based approach to my processing. In the first post I was looking for action. In this one it was moments. I still have a lot of pictures I haven't even touched yet..
