A snap from the British waterski championships...

I took this at the weekend with my D800 and 400mm 2.8 VR. This is one hell of a lens.

No post processing, just a very slight crop....

I like to think if I waterski'd for a living, I'd smile more. Great shot!

Haha, yes he does look a bit grumpy. Thanks though.

Thanks. AlexanderB has answered your question correctly. I was using aperture priority.

It's an awesome bit of kit. Hands down the best lens I have ever shot with. And like you say, it's perfect for my waterskiing needs.

When I saved the jpeg image and opened in Fast Stone viewer the EXIF info was blank, but I see now that it is available if I go to the image on Flickr ... Thanks.
