I've uploaded some more shots from the Tall Ships Sailing in Company day (the previous image post is here). These are of things OTHER than the tall ships.

Shots are mostly taken with the 70-200 VR in Active mode (ships move araound a lot!)

Some samples below. The rest in my SmugMug gallery

So far as sea sickness I've never been sick, but I've not been at seaa much so I took drugs just in case :lol:

. Dried my mouth out something fierce - not a big fan. The seas were very calm. No-one got sick. Couldn't have asked for a better day - breeze for the sails and to keep us cool, but just white caps on the water. Even the heads were gentle sailing both going out and coming in.

I find the shot of the skipper of the Svanen a little bright.

"New and old" and "Opposite directions" are my pick of the shots as they are not just good captures, but work conceptually also.

Stubbsy,
Forgot to ask, have you seen anyone onboard with the D70 like you and CD?

Sure did. A young couple who bought the camera about 4 weeks ago. Bailed them up & did the d70users.com sales spiel on them and made sure they wrote down the URL on a bit of paper. Also spoke briefly to a Canon user who commented on my 70-200 VR :lol:

Thanks Peter,

no comments on the D70 70-200mm VR user ?
Who might that be ?
Here is a crop of the captain.
What I like about it is the DOF.
Things in front and things behind are out of focus.

Cheers

He's a captain with a CB radio in hand :?:

no gold bars on apaulets and none of the sword and a sunglass instead with one covered blind eye :lol:

Yeah I was going to ask who the good looking chap was and thought better of it. Don't want people to think I'm egotistical

The crop works a lot better for me. The brightness in the top left corner was dragging my eye away from the image. And I agree the DOF here really makes the image.
