Done these at a local show at the weekend,my first attempt,both were shot handheld to,any critique welcome

i thought if i was to use 39 points it might pick people out in the crowd in the back ground and focus on them instead??

i believe it was this one d9: Dynamic 9,i selected single point then turned the front dial to illuminate the ones around it,if that makes sense??

It was single shot,continuos focus

I have played with lightroom for around 6-8 months.just trying to get used to what all the bits and pieces do lol

I used luminance,then a bit of sharpening,and increased blacks,in lightroom,maybe i should try paintshop pro Water pic was iso 1600 185mm f5.6 1/2500 second pic iso 1600 200mm f5.6 1/1600

At present i only have that lens as most of what i shoot can be done using that lens,whats the idea of exposure compensation,and how would i know when to use it? Proud nice editing,the second picture i had already edited,what adjustments did you do,cus that is way better than my edit,cracking stuff

I use sigma 70-200 f2.8 mainly,i have to say i dont know when to use exposure compensation.

Thanks strumstrum,i have edited one,but the one at the water jump is as it came from the camera,i have noticed that alot of the pics i take are very light,which i guess is overexposed as Pookeyhead said,is this something i am doing??

i did wonder if it was high iso,it was set at 1600

Hope this is correct?? https://www.dropbox.com/s/0c8hnggu4xkstrv/DSC_4452.NEF https://www.dropbox.com/s/v73ymzje3s1dsmf/DSC_4472.NEF

Put files in dropbox how do i share with you??

thanks mike i am trying to add to dropbox,do you require the raw file,or the saved jpeg??

soft focus,the second shot of the rider leaping into water seems very soft,i am wondering if its me focusing though

will get onto that now EDIT they were shot in raw,so you want the raw files or the saved jpeg files??
