    Default Coming in for a hard landing

    They usually don't come down this steep, but this guy started a steep descent after he flew over the trees. Guess he really wanted that short field landing. He gave me a really nice dynamic pose. I had another foggy morning, so not as clear of a photo as I would have liked, but tomorrow morning is supposed to be clear!

    In post, I had to clone out four powerlines in the background. A couple of rounds of noise reduction, selective Nik Detail Enhancement, curves adjustment layer, and then downsized to 1024 px using Phillip Perold's sharpening action (just found it through one of BPN's threads and really like it!).

    Shooting info:
    Nikon D800 | 500 f/4 VR | 1.4
    1/800" | f/5.6 | ISO 2000

    Nice capture. I would clone out the bright white area on the right and then add some contrast to the crane. The nice details would pop more IMO.
