Most at in fact 75 @ 1.4 so I know a little about DOF (although as Don critiqued, I could have focus on different eye some times), but anyway, while George and you are very good photographers, neither of the two pictures you showed are when the subjects are moving thousand miles per hour :-) Those Taiko players are dancing, running, shouting while playing taiko. If I use a larger aperture, I would have gotten... nothing, and what fun is that? :-) Well, not that I disagree with you per se, I suppose. I will try some more they are lethargic. Do you know these people (including the women) started each day at 5AM with 300 sit ups and 100 push ups? They are very, um, energetic... As for slow loading, it's my daughter AND my wife bit-torrenting anime. Grrr.... sucking up all the bandwidth..
