Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

Diving sequence

Something a bit different from me. This sequence of shots seemed to lend itself to some sort of treatment like this. I'm guessing this style of composition may not be to everyone's tastes. The images themselves were captured in a single burst using the D2x High speed crop mode.

Peter - the upper sequence works a tad better than the bottom. The reason: the horizon in the upper set has continuity whereas the bottom is all over the place. Other than that a very nice example of fps :D

I would love to learn how to present photos like that Peter. I have some series from the Bungendore rodeo on the weekend that would look great.

Is it a download?

This is a nice way of presenting a sequence, but something really bothered me about this. And it wasn't the broken horizon. I knew something was fundamentally wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it...

After a while I realised that all the "chromes" on the strips where in portrait format, but not lying on their side...!

Cheers
Steffen.

Thank you all for your comments. Regarding the orientation of the image in the frame - I didn't even think about it.

Steve - I used the AutoFX FilmStrip effect - it's awkward to use and not cheap, but it does a great job. See HERE for samples and pricing on their web site

Presentation is great Peter. How do you find the High speed crop mode, example aside?

It's great for the purpose Nikon intended. If you want to capture any fast moving object it can be the difference between getting it and missing it. I don't use it heaps, but it HAS been useful. I haven't tried it for the purpose, but I'd say it would be great with motorsport or things like capturing marine animals breaking out of the water (whales, dolphins etc).
