Wakeboarding today in St. Pete FLA, WakeUSF rider

One of the team riders for my school that I thought I captured pretty well, Rebel XTi, Tamron 18-250 @250, f-stop should have been around 7.1 and ISO 400. Thats all I can remember and I dont know how to store EXIF data! Tell me what I did well, did wrong, and what I can do to get better!

First off, your school has a wakeboarding team?! Sweet!
Now, did well: Nailed the exposure, good DOF and subject isolation, well composed and I like the light.
Did wrong: Not a whole lot, would have liked to have seen the face here though. The pole (or whatever its called) across it is distracting.
To improve: Shoot, shoot, and shoot some more! This is really quite good as a start.
(Just as a side note, the EXIF is 1/1600, f/6.3, ISO 400. Look up Opanda browser if you have a PC).

NOICE! I wish my pics from my Tameron came out that nice. Great pic all around, but I wish I could see more of his face.

Thanks fellas!Next time I'll be sure to let him know to keep the handle out of his face while hes spinning around back there!

And yep, U of South Florida has a Wakeboard club/team...im the treasurer and we have the largest sports club on campus!

OT: I downloaded the opanda add on for firefox, but it doesnt work? Any ideas?


Edit, GOT IT! Pretty neat stuff.

Nice shot. But just to be really picky, i'd prefer to see more space on the right in the direction he's heading rather than where he's coming from.

Nice shot, but a shame that you cannot see the full face.

Couple more

I'd crop that second one and put it through some levels, not a bad shot though.

What do you mean, drop levels? The second one I already cropped and I thought it would be nice to see the wake and where he is going. The other 3 are full size from when I took them.

Levels is a tool in almost every photo editing software that allows a fine control over the brightness and tonal range of an image. It would help this shot. As for the crop, I don't personally think the wake's adding anything to the shot. Just my 2 cents. Turn image editing on and I'll show you what I mean.

How come on some of those pictures you can view the EXIF data and not others?
