<p>Matt, thanks again for the help. By the way my photo is kind of misleading as my kids would say. I don't smoke or drink!!! I just did this one for a little joke one day. Got to have a little fun time.<br>

<p>Thanks to all<br>

Used the 200MM at local Pep Rally in Fieldhouse and it did pretty good. I need to work on my Techniques as this seems to be be my main problem now. I used my monopod, but still TOO much lateral movement. Practice makes for better photo's Everyone enjoy the Labor Day weekend.<br>

<p>Matt, Richard , Elliot<br>

things are really doing better, but do have some other thoughts to do better?<br>

Set up; AF to 3D or other??<br>

center focus; normal or wide???<br>

focus point; wrap around off or off??<br>

or any other ideas for crisper photographs.<br>

I shot 461 last night and most were not too bad. saved 107 good ones. the other ones were not necessarily bad. about 100 were not good quality.<br>

<p>Hello, I have just purchased the 70-200mm vr 2.8. I must say that it takes FABULOUS shots, however, sometimes I am concerned about the focusing. Not too sure what I should have my focusing settings on...! PLease reference the below picture... beautiful focusing and colors. However the second shot focused on the tree behind the subjects. <img src="http://gallery.me.com/thedavisfive/100647/_DSC0024/web.jpg?ver=12551617430001" alt="" width="1024" height="680" /><br>

<p>Please help if you can.</p>

I am just learning to use mine and there is alot to learn in the switch to digital. The people on this forum have really helped a lot. Not sure what to say other than try single point focus. I have tried all kinds of "stuff" and found out a lot of good info. In sports there is a place for single point, dynamic and 3D. Try center focus or wide zone also. I also found that if you disable the VR when on tripod it does better. I followed one suggestion and disabled the VR while shooting sports and that worked better in "some" cases.<br>
