This is the first photo taken by my woman with a Nikon D70. This was taken at the NAD Disc Golf course, Bremmerton, WA. This is an unedited photo.

That's pretty cool, nice trick. Picture wise, it'll be nice to include the rest of you in it. I think it would had been a much better picture.

*EDIT* My comment was the FB link you had on earlier lol

I'm actualy suprized at the quality of pictures taken by my gal! She has a good "eye" for photography. Thats why I traded my mt.bike for the Nikon D70 for her use.

This is my first attempt at Macro using a Quantray 70-300 LDO Macro lens. I shoulda cleaned my model better before taking this shot tho.

ok so here is that shot too. Not the first taken with the D70 but close. we were trying to get good action shots with minimal blur and a large field of view. I wish the shot wat a bit earlier cuz I had some mad air!! The shot didn't turn out that well but were learning!!

What are your settings on your camera for this picture? What lens are you using?

I would start here.

I was using full auto mode, sport mode, Nikkor 18-70 af-s lens, uv filter. I think what happened is I was following the subject during the action and had too much body movement for the camera to keep up? ie changing the focal point too fast?
I was trying to follow the subject starting from behind and ending in front during the action. Performing this shot spread while not watching where my feet were was difficult due to being on an angular surface, ie un-even loading ramp.

I've shot pictures of cars moving much quicker than that and they turn out very well - I'm thinking that your shutter speed was to slow and your aperture was stopped down to much causing a blur to your photo's. Do you have a photo editor of some sorts that you could pull the exif information for us? This will show us what you settings were for that pictures. I.E. Shutter speed, ISO, aperture, focal length....might help us figure out why the shot is blurry.

You are right shot at 1/160 second. that would work if you had a flash going to stop the action, otherwise you need to be around 1/500th or so to get good crisp action shots

Make sure your focus mode is AF-C (Continuous Focus Mode) for shooting action shots.
