I went out looking for birds and came back with Kite Surfers. Wasn't the best time of day for taking pics but there you go!

    yep...135 f/2 prime...it does all the work for me. One idea is to shoot downhill from a jump with sun off at an angle in front of you to show speed (ie dust highlighted to show the explosion off the jump) Helps show up dust & grass flying off the rider.

    You can recover some highlights/colour in photoshop.

    well the lens is out of the question since I just purchased a 100-400 but I will try the anglethumb.gif
