Really amazing shot!!!. I love it, but  it should be Photoshop, cause it can't be a real photo taken by you (human) :D

I agree with you guys, there indeed is a lot of contrast in this picture and too much of saturation too. But actually i did this on purpose to make more of an atmospheric, sunset like picture as part of the tribute. The original however was a tough one due to very bad and flat light, that´s why i have been going more to the contrasturation side  ;D. I will do another edit with a more realistic outcome, but it will be less attractive i think. By the way, this was shot with a D200 (CCD censor), and actually i still shoot with two D200´s. It is really time for an update for me, the dynamic range of that sensor is not amongst the best, often resulting in less dynamic in thise kind of weather conditions i have found out. adjusting exposure sadly doesn´t help that much in flat light. When adjusting - EV the image will get to dark and therefor creates to much contrast. Adjusting + EV often results in a hazy like image that actually needs more contrast to make it less flat.

Are there still D200 shooters in this AA community?

Cheers guys!

No mate, i still have 2 x D200´s, hahaha. That D800 was from a friend of mine who told me i could use it for two days to do a proper test. That 600F4 by the way, is not mine either, i rented it for 3 days  ;). All the pictures i will show here in the future, are shot with a D200 equiped with a 24-70 F2.8, a 70-200 F2.8 or a 300mm F4 (sometimes equiped with a 1.4TC afsII) By the way, i have re edited the picture allready and have lightened up the fuselage a little bit and have tweaked some color out of the AB. If you ask me, it´s got a little to much of halo around the plane too......oh well, allways time for improvement right ;) But to be quite honest, i am in dyer need for an upgrade. I still do not know however what to buy (the D800 with that high dynamic sensor and cropability, or a nice second D3s with the most clean RAW image outcome i have ever seen). And i am still hoping Nikon will launch a D400, though i know the chances to that are very slim. About the lens, it will definitly be the 500F4 and not the 600, that one is way to bulky..... ;)

get D800 or wait... the usual time for Nikon new product announcemt is around august / semptember
so if you can handle this season with your current equipment I'd wait, otherwise go for D800

D3s is a very good body, but full frame with limited crop factor (5mpix images in DX mode) is a little
short even on a 500mm lens

the D800 works as a good FX and DX body in one (16mpix in DX)

the only drawback is that with D800 you get bundle with new memory cards, disk storage and perhaps a new computer :)) but not for free :))

I know kichu, and you've got a good point. if all goes well i will buy the D800 for airshow cropability's and a backup D3s for pure quality when i need it  :D

Thanks Qna! despite the flat light the reflectiosn actually made this picture worth editing. Nice to see another D200 shooter, you have a protfolio somewhere so i can take a peek?

Cheers!

In my oppinion D800 gives even purest quality then D3S

Hhhhmmmm, in my opinion the D3s has a more clean RAW outcome then the D800. I have seen the difference last weekend on 27 inc mac splitscreen. Detail in the D3s RAW is amazing and so clean. Despite that i still like the D800 very much and that probably will de the cam to buy, but to my opinion the D3s RAW needs less editing. But like is said before, a 12.4 MP censor will not do the job in airshows like the D800 will  ;)
