Great rally shots! I'm just wondering what kind of PP techniques you use to edit your photos? I really like the look of the images.

For thouse it´s mostly a preset i´ve made in Adobe Camera Raw, I usually take a old preset and adjust it for the lighting i got in the new pics.

Your photos have a certain smoothness to them. Do use a NR preset or some sort of mask?

No I usually have to many images to make to detailed adjustments, so NR is just adjusted for the different ISOs the images have.

Thanks, the colour was terrible though, I'm going to re-edit it if I can find the raw file, with Nik colour efex now I can probably make it better.

Leopard in a tree, late evening, Samburu, Kenya. With the subject about 20 feet away and the light fading, the Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 was a good fit (although the first image is a portrait crop of a landscape frame). We weren't ideally placed for shooting, since the brightest part of the sky was behind the animal, but being so close was too good an opportunity to miss. Trying to achieve any sort of subject isolation is also pretty tricky when the subject in question has evolved such effective ways to do the exact opposite. It's astonishing how hard it can be to spot a Leopard in a tree, especially at dawn or dusk.

E-M5 mkII, no sharpening, some level adjustments and defringing in LightRoom.

Thanks Glen! Though arguably it's hard to go wrong with a Leopard in front of you and that lens in your hand!
