Great set Rita

[Mike Buckley]

You were fortunate to have much better light and better positioning for this set and you took full advantage of that. This is probably your best set. I would guess that that's because perhaps you're more familiar with track and field sports and because the activities are limited to a confined area that you were able to control better by the position you took. Regardless, very well done!

[Dave Humphries]

Gotta love the 70-200 at f/2.8 Rita - nice subject isolation and Bokeh.

Great series, well done, Dave

[Rita]

Thanks Binnur.

Yes Mike, the morning light was a bonus.

Thanks Dave. Yes, I love this lens and use it almost all the time.

All excellent shots, Rita…My favourites are #s 1 (his concentration, his focus is superb); #3 you caught her action very well here; and #6 – another one for expression and focus.

[Shadowman]

Nice series, great timing on #5.

[Stagecoach]

I'll agree with Mike here Rita, this is your best set yet !

I also prefer your PP in these for some reason. Out of curiosity what focusing method/mode are you using for these?

Thank you Izzie, John, Yew-sung.

Hi Grahame, I am pretty sure that I was using spot metering and ai servo in burst mode.
