Not much action, I like the funny face the rider is making

    Seems strange to see wakeboarding in the winter time. A nice set of images.

    Hey Jeff,

    I'm shooting alpine ski racing in Jan 10 and you are doing wakeboarding? Doesn't seem right.

    I like #2 the best.

    I find the background in #1 too distracting. There's no EXIF data on these so I can't tell what aperture where you using. What were your settings?

    I added the info, I’m not sure about the lens used for each shot but I was shooting with my 70-200 F2.8 L IS & 100-400 F? L IS, plus a rented 400 F4 DO

    Thanks for adding the information. I like #2 the best because it has the shallowest depth of field. This one you shot in apererture priority mode while the other 2 you shot in shutter-priority mode.

    Obviously you need to determine what you want from your shots in regards to depth of field but if you look through a lot of the sports shots in this forum, I think you will find that many of them have shallow depths of field to keep the focus on the athlete or action.

    The 7D I shot these with is not my camera it too was rented for the winter holidays. Wanted to give it a test drive because I’m thinking about buy one.

    My camera is an older Canon 1D2n with it and my lenses combinations I’ve had a lot of burr/focus problems with my wake shots even on days with good light. Using shutter priority and keep the speed up at around 1/1000-1/2000 seems to have helped some. But best results are in manual but I’m too lazy for that.

    The 7D worked very nicely even with my 100-400 that get mixed reviews from people; I’m planning to buy one hopeful within the next few weeks.
