Night of the Living Dead Memorial Photos

Post by Michael Palero »

I'm glad Larry doesn't put his lens down when Volkswagens pass by like the other shooters (divisional)
What's up with the other photographers?

I was only able to get 1 OK pan of Patty during the run group. The rest are Larry's.

The Volkswagen .:R32 Not an SMG.. Not a slushbox.. a two clutch DSG. Get it right.

Too fast for the paper adhesive

Burning dual color LEDs. No brakes here.

Larry Chen would have taken more photos but was afraid of getting his gear stolen during the run group.

Great Shots! We've tried to get Larry out more before ... something about making a living?

Mike, I know how you feel ... No Miata Shots of us ?!

Neat Image noise reduction software ... just a generic "fix," no Canon specific anything.

I chickened out using higher ISO's and .... lost. :( ... and I'm the one that is a proponent of Noise Reduction! :oops:

There's a bunch out there, but I use a plugin named "Noise Ninja."
You make noise profiles for your camera at every ISO with a calibration chart and get a little bit more clarity in the shots.
Noise Ninja looks like it does a little sharpening though.

I checked the computer and didn't find any Miata photos... Larry must have been really paranoid about his equipment getting stolen. Didn't find you but I did find some other interesting files I'm going to share over house network, copy and password protect for later viewing :thumbup:
