U Reb, that's one heck of a crisp image. What point and shoot are you using?

John, I'm using a Canon A560 but that image was also sharpened with Flickr's editing program.

The A560 has an excellent rep. And your post processing was dead on. :thumbup:

Paul, Nice shot of the cheerleaders.. I can tell what is going to be the thread favorite... hahahaha

Great shot of the game too!

Utah, nice image! Talk about an uncomfortable way to race!

 

[UtahsRebel]

I found these shots from earlier this summer when we were rafting Browns Canyon on the Arkansas river. Wish I could have gotten some shots going through the rapids but I was too busy trying to stay in the boat.

 

[Big Bully]

Oh I have always wanted to try that!!! Is it fun!?

 

[UtahsRebel]

It was a BLAST!!

 

[Big Bully]

I totally thought you were going to use a play on words and say it was a SPLASH.. hahaha
It looks so fun, I just don't think I have anyone to go with. :-(

The last was shot from the opposite touch line, so drastically cropped.

Those are terrific, John!

I'm going to try some shots this week at our volleyball game. Got any tips? It will be very poor, indoor lighting.

Thanks U_Reb.

Widest aperture your camera can do? High ISO? Definitely get as close as possible. Experiment.

My shots above are amazingly better with this f/2.8 lens I've gotten. These were shot about f/3.2 or 3.5. ISO probably 1600 or 3200. I think 3200 without going back to look at the original files.

Previously in this stadium, my shots had been very dark and filled with grain. I'm so stoked about this lens.

 

[Big Bully]

Oh John! Amazing shots!!
The last photo looks like your son is going to get kicked in the head. It is totally one of those pictures you see, with the caption "the moment before the pain hits."

Went to a carriage driving event this weekend. What fun it was!

[johngpt]

U Reb, those are really nice when viewed at their larger sizes.


BTW, did you ever get to shoot the volleyball? There weren't any at your flickr.

 

[johngpt]

I thought to myself,

"Why is that ball getting larger?"





And then it hit me...


:lmao:
