I was thinking of selling my MZ-3 - shooting in the sun with the on-board flash convinced me I really need to keep it, though I'm still happy with these, there were loads of shots that weren't keepers because the flash wasn't up to the job.

I really don't see nothing wrong with these. The most important part is that you are happy with them. I really like the second one. His expression says that he is having a lot of fun.

What lens did you use on these? Fantastic colors! I think I would cut out his blurry hands in the last shot, maybe...

Thanks Art - my problem was that the built in flash was simply not powerful enough to do fill flash, as it was so bright.

Thanks freefallu - I can get more keepers with it :)

Thanks Dante - seeing as how good your shots are (aided by your Lens collection ;)).

John - I used my Sigma EX 18-50, which I'm still toying with selling, to get a 24-105. Actually, I quite like the blurry hands, as it adds to the sense of motion in the shot (it was pretty windy, and he was working just to stand up straight :)).

Oh yes, and whilst most of the pop is due to the lens, and lighting, rather than doing USM at 300%, 0.3, 2, I did three passes of 100%, 0.3, 2 but didn't sharpen the whole image.

They definitely turned out nice!

Wonderful shots. I really like the first one- down to ground level with him. Great!
