Shooting at f/2.0 probably has a lot to do with that. But stopping down means too many compromises elsewhere.

The D90 applies a bit of noise reduction to raw files from what I've seen from analysis of the files by some very smart people. See my posts in this thread for links to opinions about it: http://forums.steves-digicams.com/ge...fin#post994872 But, it does a pretty good job at higher ISO speeds and any remaining noise is still easily correctable in software. Try Nikon NX2 (it's NR algorithms are pretty good) for starters, and also give Bibble Pro with Noise Ninja a try (including trying the optional Noise Ninja plug-in). |

![]() As to the purple fringing - I'll be interested to see if it's a pattern or not. I recall asking some professional sports photographers about it and one of my lenses. I was surprised to hear them say, even with their 300mm and 400mm 2.8 lenses it's still a problem in certain situations. So, the point is - that while some lenses may be more prone to it than others, even the best lenses on the market still have a problem with it in certain situations. It will be interesting to see whether this is a rare or regular issue. Keep us posted. |

I don't want to switch to matrix metering because wherever I shoot, there's an open door not far away. I'm also loath to shoot RAW, not only because it will slow down continuous shooting, but for the time to post process. I shoot hundreds of photos at a time. I'm preparing to shoot a Dressage clinic next Tuesday and Wednesday, and my wife has already told everyone that I bought a new camera for the ocassion. I will definately end up with thousands of images to sift through. I can't do that in RAW for several reasons.

My wife was looking at the photos I took of her riding yesterday.
She announced that she doesn't like my new camera. It shows her wrinkles. I'm not sure how I feel about that. ![]()

Wecome to my world!
My Bread and Butter is shooting Dressage on a weekly basis both indoors and out.(I find myself begging to shoot outside most of the time).You are going to find,That you are continuously Shooting high Contrast(Dark horses,w/White,shiney Tack in crappy lighting).And you don't dare use a Flash! unless you want a 1800# crazed animal in your lap....You have the right lens,you will find that RAW is the only way to go since you cant control the lighting, you have to control it in Post Production.Its the only way I've found to get the job done....And yes, PS is present in alot of my shots I just have to fix it later.....

I've been shooting Dressage for a while, but never indoors because I never had the gear for it.

Very Cool,
My undereducated theory about the fringing follows pretty closely with jims.The camera is trying to guess the best exposure/focus on the brightest spot and then you have it against black boots and dark brown,chestnut color and it almost always overexposes the white pads and breeches etc.Its maddening for sure....And the reason the sun makes it worse? Full spectrum light reflecting off of the pad.Whereas sodium light is more towards the red end..Talk about redcast!!!!!! ![]()
