But why are you shooting wide open at 50 ISO (which decreses dynamic range anyway) and pushing the file so far? OF COURSE it will break up.
Get the exposure right, use a sensible ISO and all your problems will disappear.
I had inadvertently put the flash in High Speed Sync.. I also have the camera’s, custom function Fn-16… Safety Shift in Av or Tv enabled… and I think because being in Av mode, it adjusted the shutter speed to 1/8000 and kept the aperture at f/2.2. If I had been in Tv mode, the camera would have stopped down and kept the shutter speed as set, at least I think that’s how it works…
After about 15 shots or so…( I was paying more attention to the activity going on around me, as the cars were preparing to leave the paddock and move to the track, than to my camera settings), I set it back to the basic ETTL setting and later shots stopped down again, to about f/5 or so…, I think because the shutter speed was now limited to 250, the lens stops down… even with Fn-16 and in Av mode… in an attempt to get the correct exposure. I had seen this before and was trying to make use of that observance in hopes of keeping a “wide as I could get” aperture… also the reason for the ISO 50…
My thought was to have the background OoF with as wide an aperture as possible… It was a bright day, mid afternoon, so I used ISO 50, thinking that ISO 100 or 200 (with the shutter limited to 250), would result in an aperture that would not give me the background that I was looking for…
Maybe I’ll try a ND and shoot @ ISO 200 or so…
Anyway, back to the thread subject…. When I got home and looked at the files, I brought the exposure back in LR and thought some looked interesting. So I kept them… seemed they might fit in this thread…
I still like some of those shots… not my all time favorites, but the first two I like.
