"Action" sports. post your photos and C&C

Yes it is. Good for you, for knowing what of your shots are in focus. It is a good thing you had an opportunity to prefocus, instead of having to keep up with an actual sport. No rebuttal to any of my other comments? Can an impartial member point out what of my shot is OOF?

No pre focus :lol:
 
We have a phrase across the pond, and it is nitpicking. Finding one issue, however small, and concentrating on that to the exclusion of any other more important or more valid issue. Consider yourself a nit-pick, and also, I will be sure to nitpick any further of your "advice".

P.S. Just missed your double post, would you take some time out of your busy schedule to circle an OOF area in your superior photo editing program? It's possible the Brits have different standards of sharpness.

**** off none of it is in focus just because you have a D3S does not mean all your shot are good, these 2 a crap
 
None of it in focus? Can someone else sound off on this? For a 100% crop, I think it is decent, might be one of the reasons I introduced it as a grab shot, not something I shot for sale. We seem to do a lot of backtracking in our argument, please read over the most recent exchange, and maybe then you will be qualified to continue talking to me in this manner. Until then, please be quiet until you can be a useful forum member, and contribute.
 
Here's a few...

another 'old school' one then

inspired to a great degree by McCabe's shot of Sylvester Mittee

there are several dupes of this floating around and I have a feeling I have scanned one of those and not the original. F1, 28mm. RDP.
 
I think these belong here... Shot my buddy during a snow storm this past weekend at Snowbird. Exposure was iso 800, f/7.1, 1/640, 10mm.

Although he wasn't particularly polite about it, I have to agree with gary on this one. the shot shows good action but it is not in focus (soccer one I am talking about). You needn't be so vehemently defensive of the shot, especially since it is only a 'grab shot'.
