I've had the same feeling on some images, typically it just depends on the image and what level of zoom you're using to review it as a jpg file. Sometimes they'll look really grainy when full screened using windows photo viewer, but then if you zoom in, the grain goes away, but may re-appear at 100% in some cases.

I doubt it will show when printed or downsized for web use from my experience.

You lose a lot of data when you make a jpeg. Take the same picture and output as a tif file and see how much difference there is.
I don't care what the Lightroom setting says, a jpeg will NEVER contain 100% of the raw.

I can't remember if I've ever posted a link to Mark Rebilas' site, but I love his stuff.
He does a LOT of sport photography. You'll often see his name in the credits at NHRA races.
I really like his blog because he posts the settings that he uses too. Helps learn better ways to shoot.
Just thought I'd share.

A little over a month ago marked the annual Z Nationals event in Atlanta, put on by the good folks at Z1 Motorsports. I was able to rejoin them this year (after a two year hiatus) as one of their photographers. And as usual they had a stunning lineup of Z1 girls out and about during the car show which was held at Coolray Field (home of the Gwinnet Braves). I was assigned the dubious task of trying to take some pictures of these lovely ladies in and amongst the cars on display. Since Nissan was kind enough to bring one of their super cool LMP1 prototypes from a couple years ago, to go along with an impressive display of other historical race cars, I figured that was about as good as it gets to shoot with. I only took this one angle with Alissa but I was happy with the result...

Nice shot.

Shot this a few weeks ago. No Splitter or Volks because Winter. :driving:

I shot over 30 cars for my friend in Charlotte last year to post them for sale, definitely one of my busiest (and most profitable) years to date. All kinds of really cool stuff, truly, and you are welcome to check out their website at https://scdgarage.com/ to see a lot of them in their inventory, both current and sold.


While I shot some really outstanding cars last year, this is my favorite shot:

Today, I went to Ventura and saw some rust buckets. I love this little city by the water.

I shot these a while back at a VW show. All I remember is the camera was a Canon. I don't remember the lenses I used. But for what it's worth...

First media event at COTA. By the time I figured out where to go to get to the service road, I only had about an hour and a half of daylight left.
