OK, OK...this weekend I should be able to figure something out and maybe find a friggin' tennis ball that isn't torn to pieces. Shoes are no problem - I am a shoe addict - but I have to figure something out for that.

BTW a friend got his Canon box today but isn't giving any secrets away as yet!

:laugh: WOW! I can so easily see these 3 mounted side by side & on a wall somewhere. I love them, great idea, great composition & the soft antique treatment works perfectly. They are really good.

Vickie how did you get your action pictures in your "trim" thread so sharp? Is it due to a fast camera/lens? Do you flick out a few frames at time or just one click?

Combination of things Rocco. They were shot inside using natural light from the window. The D300 does 6 f/s & seems to handle a high ISO very well. I had the ISO up to 1000 in those shots & was able to get a between a 1/1000 & 1/2000 shutter speed. There is grain, but b/c of the composition I think it actually helps rather than hurts. I used my 50mm 1.8 which is a fast lense (compared to anything else I have). And yes, I just kept clicking 5-6 shots every time I threw the ball.

Problem was focus. To get both Trim & the ball in focus I needed a lower Aperture, but then that compromised my shutter speed. So I used a higher one (F3.5) & focussed on Trim which meant that the ball was often oof, so just picked the shots where the ball wasn't moving much & looked like it was in focus.

I had that same problem too Vickie. Trouble trying to focus on both in low light with high shutter speed.

I love the last one!

Stop down and or increase your shutter speed. Sometimes you'll still have a ray of sunlight that just won't not be blown - there's often just too much range in a scene in harsh sunlight and you do the best you can. You can also experiment with using fill flash - so exposure for the brightest part of the photo and fill in the shadow areas with a little pop of light.

As an aside, can we please all use the same terms/abbreviations? It took me ages to figure out what ppl were talking about LOL

f-stop is your aperture and is always a little f ... f4.5, f7.1, f14, f22 etc

shutter speed is always a fraction and it doesn't get any letter ... 1/250, 1/1000, 1/20

ISO would be good to add if you know it

lenses should be listed ... Canon 60mm 2.8 macro, Sigma 30 1.4, Canon 50-255 @ 78mm (so the zoom lens gets listed and then the mm of the focal length used) etc

I know I'm a little slow sometimes, but if we all do it the same way it's better!
