April 2, 2005 - Dayton Giant Round-Robin Open - 'The Battle for the C Notes II' Photos
The picture gallery is not complete for this event. Check back soon for a more complete selection of photos.
Photos were taken with a Sony DSC-V1. Action shots settings were: flash disabled, ISO 200, shutter speed 1/250, F2.8. Adobe Photoshop liberally used to enhance resulting poor picture quality. I would enjoy hearing from graphic/photo editing professional or enthusiasts superior methods of enhancing the fidelity of the original digital pictures.
