Thanks Joe. Got another photog whos son is in the NavAir pipleline right now and wanted to know if I'd ever seen thier birds. Now I know which ones to look out for.

Joe, with all due respect sir, Your a badass photographer... That is awsome. I am really liking the Black and whites.
Anyone care to guess what the backstory on this callsign might be? ;D

I think it is fair to say this is a "walk-off" home run. Man Jay, I think this is my favorite Goshawk photo ever. Composition, 3/4 going away, post processing; it has it all for me.
WOW, yeah. That's a wonderful image, Jay!
Thanks guys...
Just playing with some new software. I need to revisit the technique and see if I can figure out where the graininess came from so I can do it with a little less texture.
As it is, it's a little bit to "crunchy."
Jay - If you processed in Silver Efex Pro 2 first and then used a Hue/Saturation Level to bring back the color, it can sometimes introduce additional grain/noise. You can really achieve some great PP by performing most of the processing as a B&W conversion first - then use whatever methods you prefer to bring color back into the image. I think it may be the best way to have ultimate control over contrast and structure.
Just my 2-cents.
BTW - One of the reasons I love this image is the grain/noise.
I like it because it turned out a little "painterly..."
Looks a bit like the OPT stuff that a few aviation guys were dabbling in on Flickr a few years back, just a bit grainier.
Qué es OPT?

Nice shots Daniel. The GIB (Guy In Back) was checking you out on both images.
Thanks.
It does appear that way, but in the first one he is actually looking forward. The black paint on the helmets can mess with your perspective.
Perhaps that is what they were aiming for.
Wow! Taking a second look, the GIB is looking forward. I really enjoyed the shoot with you all. Can't wait for the next opportunity.
Same ^_^

This and your recent Prowler shots really make a compelling case for being mid-field instead of at the shack.

Messrs. Janes; that is one beautiful Goshawk my brother. Some folks say the 7D is too noisy in low light/high ISO situations. You'll need to show me how make my 7D work like yours ;)
QuoteMessrs. Janes; that is one beautiful Goshawk my brother. Some folks say the 7D is too noisy in low light/high ISO situations. You'll need to show me how make my 7D work like yours
Thank you Jeff... I'd love to show you how my 7D works... only problem is I don't know either!! ;D ;D
In all honesty when I first got the camera I was disappointed in it. Every picture had a ton of noise, even pics taken with the best lighting had substantial noise. I did some snooping on the internet and found out that certain settings in the custom function menus seemed to reduce the noise for whatever reason. Since it was on the internet it had to be true. I made some adjustments and it seemed to work. I still have to make some tweaks in LR but I have been really satisfied with the camera overall. This was my first outing since my lens was cleaned and tuned up at Canon. I have to say that my pics are far crisper and sharper now then when I bought the lens. I started to think that maybe Canon sent me back a 100-400L 2.8 lens. ::) ;D
Chris/Jeff
The Nikon D300S seems to suffer the same issues in low light and I was extremely disappointed at first. Now that I'm more familiar with the camera, I'm having better luck, but noise is still problematic. I also have a D600 (full frame) and that camera doesn't seem to have the noise problems I experienced with the D300S. Topaz Labs software suite has been a big help for the D300S shots. Chris, you Goshawk shot is beautiful...crystal clear in every dimension. Very nice.
Tried a B&W conversion of this shot

Nothing special. But I was out and about today with my new Canon refurb G-12. Just as I was getting ready to turn down 82nd St at Scottsdale, a T-45 flew over. I was hoping for another, and I got it.

That's a big crop on this shot. The camera doesn't have the reach my SX-30 does, but it's smaller, and I want that for when I'm out on the motorcycle.
