I use a Nikon D70, with a Nikon 18-35, 3.5, 4.5 ED lens.
Can't wait to have a 200 mm lens tough.
I am not used to shooting sports and I haven't quite figured out how to swing along the moving target without blurring the whole thing out.

Chip, what happend in Iceland, did you eat too much Pilsur's?😉

Looks so much like our Biscuit - nice pic, and don't worry, the EXIF is optional for those that actually want to share. 😉

That is an album cover. Or at least the back of the booklet when you open the jewel case. Fantastic photo.

God, you lot are so talented. I'm very jealous.
 
I like this idea. The other day I hiked and camped on Mt. Olympus in Salt Lake City, UT.

I took a lot of photos with my film SLR, but haven't developed/scanned them yet.

The Domain, Sydney CBD, 23/04/2005. It's pretty much the autumn season in Sydney, so I guess people were trying to chill out and relax in the sun. You can still do that in the winter here, IMO. 😉

Thanks chip! But I forgot to crank up the iso just a little bit. The runners would have been in focus.
Damn I wish I had my new Nikon 18-200 lens, I could have gotten some nice shots today. ahh, got to love backorders…

Actually, I think the runners look a lot more "in focus" than the surrounding cars and buildings, and was wondering how you did that. 😉 I guess with such a small photo, it's hard to see that the runners aren't as in focus as I think they are.

The technique for others that read this post is called panning. One follows the subject and "hits" the middle while following through.
 
Yeah, I figured panning the camera with the runners at the centre of the frame was how he did it, but I'm still a bit surprised that it turned out so well. I have only tried it once with some skateboarders, but it didn't work out so hot. 😱 (I was trying to use manual focus, though. They ramps or whatever you call that big u-shaped "bowl" was very deep, so their distance away from me changed from 10 feet to 150 feet in a matter of a few seconds).

Is there no secret to getting good panning? Is it just steady panning movement with the subject?
 
I love the idea iGary, so here is mine:
Rickshaw driver, Christiania, Copenahgen, Denmark 27/05/06
Camera: Rebel XT
Lens: 50mm f/1.4
All other exif is on pic.
As always open to critique.🙂
