I thought about it for a little bit, and realized maybe these would have been much better entries for the contest. :lol: oh well :) It was so hard deciding, but now I know!

I was invited through my brother to the snowbirds air show they were having for family and friends only. So we got to see them do their dangerous tricks here in the very city I live in!

With these particular photos & the settings I used, it's either adding more vibrant color + noise, or no noise + dull colors... so they both are a downfall. :\ I touch the saturation on this and it brings out the noise.

You need Lightroom!! It can touch up those pics without a problem :)

P.S- The snowbirds are awesome. I've seen them at my local airshow too.

Why is noise such a bad thing? Off focus, bad wb, oversaturation, vintage effects < noise.

Yes, I do need that. I am such a lazy butt when it comes to editing photos.

I have posted photos with changing settings which adds more noise. People seem to only notice the noise. It doesn't bother me in certain things esp those lightning photos I took. But some things it just irks me sometimes. I like the sharp look.

Are they better than the Thunderbirds? Thunderbirds are by far my favorites, but I have not seen the snowbirds. One of these days I am gonna head down to the Miramar Air Show, perhaps next year... Its one of the best I hear...

Like the second pic way better on the first post. Second one is way to colorful, looks ugly.
