That is an excellent picture T_C. The way the background is blurred, it looks just like a pro picture. Do you understand the relationship between time and aperture to achieve these results manually?

You should go to an evening class of photography.

Thanks Fred, I've learned a lot online already...it's relatively easy but requires a lot of practice. Every change you make to the settings compromises the final picture in some way or another. You really have to get to know everything like second nature so you can guess what combination of settings are likely to give you the best result in that particular scene.

Heres a link to another decent shot.

I guess she didn't thump you, then

Seriously beautiful creature (horse, not NC!)

You sound like you've got the eye for the detail. I would never have noticed that little blur if you hadn't mentioned it.

Go for it. NVQ ... or whatever. Wedding photographs, civic ceremonies ... etc

Watch this space!

It looks like you have 70-210 zoom lens on your camera.

That was taken too slow, so legs are lured. In some way shows motion which is good but if you want crisp motion action reduce the speed. You must have a sport button or 1/500th or sumfink.

Yeah, a 20 year old Minolta 70-210 F4.

... unexpectedly overhearing the theme tune from my son's favourite cartoon, from years ago.

Oh no I just noticed something! What is that bit of blur at the bottom by the nose!??!? Can't believe I didn't see that before!

Oh well, this is not one of my favorites anymore...

Hey T_C, you have a huge collection of photos and images on photobucket. Why don't you share them all with us?

Here's one of the most interesting... I think you've never used it on CF.
