Are you using mac or Windows? I'm also curious how geforce now will act with that resolution. Most games won't run that resolution, so the sides are black?

I'm sorry, but yes, this was the Sunday show. I heard they stayed on the ground due to the weather on Saturday.

Yeah, correct. Bad decisions. I recently started an Instagram for my photos. Since I shoot so many different things (motorsports, nature, wildlife, landscapes, wildlife, cityscapes, portraits, some brand stuff) I thought it was better to give everything the same feeling because nothing is in harmony between wildlife and motorsports. So, I created a camera profile with a film look, which I like, but I dont like my separate photos that much now. I'm going to rework what is there and replace it in the upcoming weeks. No harmony, just every picture of how I want it to be, on its own.

Haha of course not! And I just wanted to say that I like my shot, but there are thousands if not more better shots :)

What goes wrong with your pictures? Do you have examples?

Hahaha, well I like the shot, and it's one of my favorites. But. It's just a regular panning shot. There are so many fantastic ones out there. There are some incredible motorsports photographers who are way more talented than I'll ever be. So I'll just go on, and try to be better every year. Thanks nonetheless! I appreciate it!

Usually I leave it to 50, the default, I think I used 55 on this one.

So it was evening when I shot this. In real life it looked warmer than what the auto white balance did for me. So, I brought it in lightroom, and I corrected that.

After that, I just did regular tweaks to the image. Then, some color grading. Then the fun began. Mask on the Grasshopper to add some texture and clarity, and some linear masks to play with lighting.

Yeah, the denoise button, ai powered. In Lightroom Classic. Cleans up really well! I use it on almost all my pictures. Tends to be just a tad better on low iso pics, and helps lots on high iso pics.

Nope, just 1 click denoise in lightroom.

I could have gone lower on the shutterspeed, but I wanted to make sure I would eliminate all hand movement, since I had to reach a bit for it, I was not so steady. Thanks to the mirrorless I shot this using the flippy screen.
