I embarked on Nina's training program this past weekend at the Rainier Agility Team event in Elma.
Saturday's results were pretty nominal as I was limited to using my Canon 100-400mm f4.5-f5.6 lens. Most of the time I shot at ISO 3200 with my 40D, and while Lightroom 3 does an great job of noise reduction, the shutter speed necessary was just to slow to get anything close to sharp.
Sunday Nina lent me her 70-200 f2.8 lens and the dark building got somewhat brighter and my shutter speed somewhat faster.
Sunday I took something like 1500 images, deleted about 300. The remaining 1200 I pared down to about 200 reasonably good images. I hope the top 10% below don't bore people too much, but I would be interested in feedback.
Just to get this out of the way, I was limited is shutter speed, so I'm aware they are not terribly sharp and they might be a tad noisy, so comments on composition would be helpful.
