[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 19531, member: 654"] Everyone has pretty much given good advice on this one. So just for my $.02 worth and from my experience in shooting with a 70-300mm Nikkor I find that shoots are greatly improved when you use a higher f/stop at the long reach of the lens. At 300mm and anything less than f/8 you are using the softer outside edges of the lens. (The Nikkor 70-300mm is famous for that when shooting at the full 300mm.) So I make it a habit to get the f/stop as high as I can on long shots. In this case you probably didn't need 1/1600 shutter speed. 1/500 probably would have done the trick. A higher ISO would also help kick up the f/stop. So I agree a higher ISO will probably do the job. Also my experience with the D90 indicates an ISO of up to 1000-1200 will give you good shots with acceptable grain. The sharpening by Marcel did improve the shot a great deal. Good composition and I agree that little bit of cloud in the background gives the shot more depth. You also got the sky divers face on which is not an easy task. [/QUOTE]
