Snowboarding
Spent last weekend skiing with my nephew and his girlfriend. Well, she and I skied and he rode. Anyway, I carried the D200 and 70-300 around in my backpack, and got a couple nice shots of him. Ahh . . . youth.
I think I tended to ski a bit more conservatively with the D200 on my back. Maybe I was secretly hoping to bust it so I'd have an excuse to get a D300. Does anybody have any tips for how to get good ski/snowboarding shots? Guess I shoulda thought about that back in December.

The background on these is good and doesn't tend to fool your camera in auto modes into underexposing. If you shoot any program modes (A, P, S) with a lot more snow in the frame, you'll find the camera wants to underexpose every image, so push things .7 to 1 ev.
The images are good, but the athlete doesn't look all that impressive. With someone of this level, you need to do a bit more to make them look better. Your long lens makes that difficult. If you can get closer and shoot wider from a low angle, it will look like he's further off the ground.
Hope that helps.

aaaaa.... who am I kidding!
whoever dies with the biggest coolest piece of glass, wins!
Thanks for the tips. For most of my shots this day I was pretty much limited to the longer lens for my own safety! Had I been closer, I'd have been out of view of other riders and sooner or later would have caused a crash . . . more than likely with me on the bottom of the carnage pile.
