Hi All,
I went out wakeboarding a couple of weeks ago and snapped a few pics. I had a bit of trouble getting the focus right. I had the camera on both AF-S and AF-C (with C the wake kept getting the focus). I had it on Shutter priority and tried a few different settings. I was disappointed by the softness and the focus of the pictures. I used my Tamron 28-300, which would probably explain why!
Anyway, any comments on how to improve the pictures would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Marvin

when are you going to be on the board ???

cheers rob

 LOL I do go on the board but it has to be very hot for me to get in the water. I had a go that day but can barely get over the wake!! I am much better at skiing and kneeboarding! Besides that, no other bugger is going to touch my D70 in a boat!

Marvin - your shots are fine - good action pics - well done

Thanks sirhc55 but they actually seem to look better on the converted jpg than on the NEF in terms of sharpness. When I look at the originals I notice that they seem a bit out of focus. I have done no PP at all on these so I'm not sure why this would be. The jpgs look quite washed out though compared to the originals. I think this has been discussed in another thread though!

Martian Marvin,

Great work mate, I really like the 5th one, the 300mm Tam is not world class but can produce great stuff, it's the photographer not the equipment that counts!

Keep on posting,

Max
