[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 251170, member: 9240"] Well, that's annoying - both in that you have to do it, and that Firefox will disable the protection afforded (sort of) by the software. Thanks. The good news is that the image was not resized on upload so you can see the EXIF data (if the s/w resizes it also, unfortunately, strips the exif data. If you want to make it easy on everyone then turn off the copyright protection option in your profile - as Mike pointed out, it doesn't really work anyway. :) Unfortunately, FXIF on my Mac doesn't give me focus mode, but I can see that for the most part any lack of sharpness here isn't due to focus as much as it is movement. That's just going to come with practice. All these appear to be at 1/60s with a focal length greater than that on your zoom. Obviously you can get the motion you want with that, so it's just a matter of practicing moving with your subject and maintaining a steady hand in everything but the horizontal plane. Practice on cars moving down the street and anything else that moves at a fairly steady pace. Practice following without depressing the shutter and try and keep the subject framed in the viewfinder. Then start squeezing off a few frames here and there. It is tempting to just hold the shutter button down and try and follow, but that will often lead to other movement until you're used to it. Better 2 or 3 shots that are usable than a 3 second spray of "almost" shots. Also try a slightly faster speed on longer lenses - shoot 1 notch below your focal length (85mm shoot 1/60, 135mm shoot 1/125). Provided the subject is moving fast enough you're still going to get motion - I shoot birds in flight at 1/1000s and still get movement!! The more you practice the more you can back off the shutter speed. [/QUOTE]
