Ok... still weird though that at f29 its lacking detail... I have noticed with my sigma 70-300 that macro mode does have s small dof like your pics show. But I havent tried higher(in terms of numbers) than F5.6. You should try taking a similar photo without macro mode and use something like f29 and ...

Nothing amazing. Wasnt much to shoot in the small area I flew around. Had to keep files fairly big or else you can see anything. In some of the photo's you can see the Freestyle Motocross section. Was hoping to catch the guys doing tricks but they were still preparing their bikes. http://img514.imag...

Yeah probably not... but maybe just maybe for something like ur dove shot, you might have focused a bit short, which had some things in focus but which also gave u the distortion on the doves head

Just throwing it out there

Does autofocus give you the same shallow dof?

Cos I have the same lens for my Nikon D70, and I only get shallow dof under macro shots

The biggest ban in recent years was prohormones and ephedrine. Well, banned for use in non-prescription products. Thats why the Animal Stak, first Animal Test and first Animal Cuts were taken away. Even a lot of products from Fizogen labs disappeared cos of that as Fizogen were known for hardcore pr...

Ok cool... I was mostly wondering where cos the photo seemed indoors and I was wondering how a dragonfly would end up indoors. And if it was outdoors I was wondering if you maybe "photoshopped" the colours to give it the darker appearance. I like the contrast between the detail on the wing...

Well you can still use the crappy machine... just take the difference of the readings as a general indication. At Planet fitness Craighall they have 2 different bodyfat readers and both give different readings. However the cool thing is, is that as I lost bodyfat, both gave me the same difference ie...

I think the bodyfat measurements will give you a better idea of progress than weight. Cos if you are losing fat and gaining muscle, the weight loss will be less because of muscles weight being heavier than fat

Congrats on keeping to the diet. Like I said before USN isnt all that bad, they just lack creativity as they tend to enjoy copying products and use very similar names. Obviously its hard to invent completely new products but their names are too similar to some other competitor products. Did you do a...

The raid version drives just have a longer life span afaik. So they should be a little more reliable. For the low extra cost, Id say its worth getting the raid edition drives

The tests that are done are in the USA... where label claims are a 'sue-able' offence...
