hi Ian - how big of a crop is this??

[Ian Cassell]

Hey Lance -- at an estimate it's about 30% of original. Doesn't matter much, it seems, because I went to figure it out and find that my RAW file for this is missing. I can't believe I did that .... Oy! (actually, I can believe it ... )

EDIT

False alarm ... I found it ... not sure what happened. Anyway, roughly 30%

Glad you found the original.
Terrific action, shame the crop took away a lot of detail. You may want to warm the temp a bit. TFS.

[Ian Cassell]

Thanks, Fabs. I just switched from LR2 to LR3 and I think there is something new about the catalog which I didn't understand. Figured it out now :)

[Dave Mills]

Ian, agree on the loss of detail with the large crop. If you look at the water it's going downhill. should be fairly level. The image needs some rotation.

[David Stephens]

Great action. Cropping this much is what led me to the EF 500mm f/4L IS. Still this is great in most regards.

The water looks like it's running down hill to me also by about 20-degrees.

[Ian Cassell]

Thanks. I'll straighten out the water (I'd hate to have it run out of the image onto my desk :D ). Yeah, I'd love that 500, but no time soon! I've done a few now with the 400 and 1.4X which look pretty good, but I lose AF that way (and I didn't have it on the camera at the time anyway).
