Took my K-5 with my new [used] DA 50-200/4-5.6 ED WR lens to the state cross-country championship yesterday. I’m over my hang-up about getting manual focus down before thinking about autofocus. The results were mixed because autofocus is auto only so far. There are still things to be learned, technique to be develop. E.g., I can see that in some of the images the subject is not sharp while the background is. I will be learning about where the camera focuses and paying more attention to what I have it focus on.
The light was perfect. I was able to shoot at 400 and didn’t have any noise to correct for. Most of my processing was cropping to put the subject more clearly in the frame. This is the gallery I put up for the team I’ve been following. Nothing great and some not very good, but a great improvement for me with this subject matter. Comments more than welcome. <http://www.flickr.com/photos/eeweir/10781314504/in/set-72157637520908245> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] "It is the mark of an educated man to look for precision in each class of things just so far as the nature of the subject admits." - Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
