[QUOTE="hrstrat57, post: 329170, member: 27586"] Good stuff here so far thanks. Unfortunately my F2.8 Maxxum teles will need to be replaced so I am shooting with the cheapo in sig....but it is super sharp for a kit zoom. I can't get that creamy bokeh with it I don't think. I managed to freeze multiple shots of both Karlovic and Groth players who serve close to 140 (actually Groth hit a 146 in todays match vs Donald Young) I will play with the focus metering, I did not use C very much good tip I only used it with the motor drive on a couple of times and those shots were good.....it was very sunny and clear so shutter never dropped below 1/1000 even with the 5.6, often much higher. I shot as ISO 200 and 400 all day....changing the ISO on the D300 is easy peazy with the dedicated button! Haven't taken the time to figure out how to post images in this forum, just have the pics dumped into Picasa at the moment on my windows machine.... Anyone have a linky to the posting tutorial here? I'll attempt to post a couple pics from HOF today this week now that I know there is a fan in the house..... Have a funny story about one of the pics, but want to post it before telling! Off now tho to watch 24 and Longmire, ttyl Nikonites! ( and please chime in with metering suggestions, especially focus metering) [/QUOTE]
