About the Image(s)

We just wrapped up our local fair. The photo exhibit went well. After working monitor duty, I love to walk around the fair and get human interest images. One of my favorite things to do is to stand on the midway and watch the people on the various rides. This year did not disappoint.
This shot is titled "Dropping In" and was taken with a Nikon Z9 with an F-Mount Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 FL ED with the FTZ2 converter. Exposure was 1/2000 sec @ f/8, ISO 7200. I've been working a lot with auto ISO, and it's my go-to setup for most situations anymore. Between the capabilities of the new cameras and the denoise technology in the editing software, I find I can get away with some pretty high ISO settings before the quality suffers. We had some thunderstorms in the area which gave us wonderful skies. I didn't to very much to this image, other than opening up the shadows and bumping the vibrance and denoise a skosh.
I hope everyone has a great October!
