Hmmm.....and did you do this on purpose????:lol:

Good crisp whatever but the frame is a bit bothersome. Suggestion? Next time expand the canvas by an amount that will allow the addition of the frame (which isn't all that bad by itself) and put that frame on the white expase of the frame...

Does your elements support actions?

And please understand that I'm just trying to give you a hard time. PS is a bear....I'm just learning like you...

Thanks Titus213 this PS Elements is a pain in the #ss!
I still have some learning to do, just thaught I'd post the pic because I also got my 100-300mm lense today. That was taken at 300mm

Thanks again

Looks pretty sharp and good bokeh, Dan. Are you a swinger?

[mrclark321]

LOL...good one Clay and "NO" way to that!!
I thaught it looked not too bad for being at 300mm. I hear a lot of complaints about these lenses at that length.

Thanks again
Dan

yes PS can be a pain but its well worth it to learn everything you can ... it will become fun then after awhile it will become a pain again...lol
nice pic... love the background blur. Did you do tat in PS? or is it just regular old depth of field... ?

Nice test Dan! But the ropes were kind of crawling out of the frame (top border). It looks pretty sharp to me. Was it taken wide open at f5.6? If yes, try stop it down to f8 ~ f11 to see if it gives u sharper result. Mine does. ;)

Wow, that DOF sure is shallow. The right part of the bar seems to be in sharper focus that the left. Great lens, wonderful possibilities.
