vcollerp, I thoroughly enjoyed browsing through your flickr pages. I noticed how sharp your subjects are and how clean your backgrounds looked. Can you describe (briefly is better than not

) your workflow? Also when you take 1000 images in a day how do you decide which ones to keep when 98% are in focus? Thats a lot of decision making. Thanks

Hi Wissink

No big secrets here. I use Silkypixpro 6 for all my usual processing. On the K3 I will bump the contrast one level , and change the sharpening from normal to pure detail. I also use Silkypix to downsize before uploading. With the higher ISO stuff I use DXO optics pro10 about 5% of my photo’s. The clean backgrounds that is why I use Pentax.

I keep 80% of my raw files lots of external drives. (I know that is stupid

)
Thanks for the compliment.

Great shots of the Magister.

Got any of the 787?

Zygonyx · 06-28-2015, 12:47 PM

Thank you all.
Yes, i really appreciate that lens, very good performer with no AF issue for the whole session.
Unfortunately no dreamliner on demonstration during the "public shows", the Air Vietnam 787 left the day before...
Actually and regrettably, no american plane did flight during those 3 public days.
