for an explanation of high-key, look here:

My suggestion for this treatment weren't intended to be a "better" picture - merely a different treatment. I've tried to illustrate this (quick and dirty )
You mentioned that the D70 doesn't track like a real camera - are you using the continuous focus (AF-C) and predictive (dynamic) focus settings in the custom menu? Using these settings should help, as would a higher ISO setting for faster shutter speeds. The 80-400 VR (Nikon or Sigma?) are excellent consumer/prosumer lenses, but more accurate and faster tracking with the D70 would be achieved with faster (and more expensive) lenses. In short, I don't think the D70 is the limiting factor in your setup. Of course, autofocus performance would be slightly better with the professional cameras such as the D2X or even the new D200, but the D70 does a commendable job for most non-pros
Hope this helps,
Leeko
Thanks Leeko., I like your rendition, looks cool.
I use the AFC, not sure on the dynamic focus settings, I will look into that!
the lens is the Nikon VR. I will study the link you have posted.. thanks so much~!
