Cropped at ISO 25,600 with noise reduction: off

I am impressed. Still looking good at 25,600
Great photo!

Seems 5D MKIII can really do the job.
Excellent photos!

OK this is a strange image...

It looks like its been processed in Lightroom with the Clarity slider a long way down.

I love this setting with the trees and cool background, green grass, etc. I always have boring, boring settings to shoot in. Wish I could be where you are!

Grass is always green on the other side...
Notice those dandelions on the ground and those evenings spent mowing...

Wicki..I see what you are referring to and retraced my steps.  That is not from Photomatix, its from adjusting the DNR lighting equalizer settings in ACDSee Pro 5 as the photo is a bit washed out as I had to push the exposure to +1 and 2/3 on site as I was working with less than ideal conditions (i.e very bright sunlight).

Here's the actual image untouched.  Shot as RAW then to JPG then to cropped JPG @ 1920x1280.

PS re:  Photomatix - the presets are ridiculously fake looking and actually can ruin a photo.  I've worked the program to what I believe satisfactorily and have made my own templates which escape that surreal / painterly look.

One of the most drastic examples of why people should spend less time sitting at the computer playing with an image... The original image ('as taken' by your description) is a thousand times better. If I even touched it at all it may have been to boost overall vibrancy a little - other than that it should have been left alone.. ;=)

Thank you for opening a thread 5dMKIII and sports photos. Exactly what I am looking for.  I am using a 7D a lot for shooting footbal. Love to see what the 5D MKIII can do with 6fps and all the fancy settings. The 5D MKIII is on my list. My only worry: loss of reach over the football field. And, being forced to buy one or more lenses with more reach. Especially after your comment that you might not go back to the 7D

I'd like to say don't worry about the .6 loss (that was my initial fear) especially with a 400mm being 640mm on the 7D.  You can crop to your hearts content and get that same exact photo as you would with the 7d only the image from the 5D MK3 won't break down.  I should at some point demonstrate this as I may be one of the few with both cameras though not sure.

bchernicoff - truly like the shot with the orange colored motor cycle - excellent!

5D Mark III and 300 2.8 IS II.
ISO 800, f2.8, 1/3200 sec
Very wet and cold in Melbourne. The second time I have used this set up

Interest comment earlier about replacing the 7D with the 5DIII for sports.

Anyone else got thoughts on that? Apart from the 2fps are there other disadvantages? Or should I keep saving for the 1DX?
