    Thanks. Yes... it was very overcast []but I was so lucky to be so close for so long. These photos are only 50% cropped with my 70-200.


    Side note: I have been using ACR for my raw conversions since I purchased my 50D. I mentioned to Canon product specialist at NAB that my 50D had bad noise above iso 400, he said I should use DPP instead of ACR (because DPP knows the 50D sensor better than ACR). I had practically zero noise correction set in DPP and look at my iso 800 result below. Superb details with only a very modest unsharp mask after resize.
