Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

[truflip]

Yep, we celebrate it here every year.
This year I believe it's going to be on June 15.
I'll probably visit, play some volleyball and go home.

We probably don't do it as big as you guys (pointing out your celebrity singer ,
but we do have local bands, singers and talent shows basically.
Lots of food and some sports--

I'll snap some shots

Let me know what ya'll think....I am having trouble with my focus points on my d50 sometimes in auto focus mode.

Looks like an extreme crop - resolution is really bad.

Was the original sharp?

Yes it was a huge crop, the original was sharper, but I still had the problem with the focus shift. I am still trying to learn, but I think I am going to stick to the sports shots

Try a single center focus point and recompose?

Yeah definitely get some shots. I'll be looking fwd to that
This year had more peeps than last, maybe cuz of the great weather and better guests we had compared from the past. Honestly, this was the only time I stayed until the end of the show hehe

[truflip]

I will definitely post them here
I've never stayed for the whole show either mainly because its from like 10am to night. lol.
Plus, the last few years it's been like 30+ degree C temps and very very humid.
This year though looks more promising.

"On reflection" I fell like I'm getting the hang of this photography lark
Still sooo much to learn but oh it's getting fun now.

I hope you used a shotgun on the Cockies after you took their photos.
Pests.

Spot on K1W1.

VR great shot, can you sell it to the building owners/managing director? Not that I'm mercenary or anything but if I'd taken that shot I'd give it a try.

Rooz a very cool depth of field experiment with that last shot.
I can't see the first shot anymore so can't comment on the cloning but start a thread and ask some specific questions. There's some PP gurus out there. With cloning I personally find you've got to pick a point at the same focal length and of the right colour/texture which can limit your options. Also don't select too small a sample point, give it a bit of size and experiment with a bit of feather or opacity if you have to. Just my $0.02

Try setting the AE-L/AF-L button to AF Lock then use that to lock the focus when you recompose the shot.
