FUCKING
Does the 55-200 have macro or are those just well focused. I just keep looking at number 2 wishing it was slightly more in focus. Still awesome however

tbh im not sure the lens did AF until a few months back so i have to stick it in MF and do the best i can with it untill i upgrade my body. the body was set to macro and i just manual focused.

Not sure what uploading to CS has done to it, but I quite liked this from holiday.

And 2 close up shots - nothing fancy. No editing on the computer.


C+C welcome

Some of my favourite action shots from today's National Points Series 4x race at Chicksands Bike Park.
This would have been awesome if it was in focus 

The best ones.




This would be great if I had zoomed in on the rider in focus and got closer to the trail from the tyre.

My favourite one.

Sony A200 with the 18-70 lens for the ones in Southport.
as for PS i'd love to tell you what i had done but i can't remember. when i open the RAW files in PS it comes up with a window with all the setting etc on, just tweaked some of them then resized etc. and there you go

Nice one
The A200's seem well priced too just had a look at them, much cheaper than a D60 may have to look into them when I decide to take the plunge into DSLR ownership.
