I just finished my first weekend with the 70-200. I was so worried about how big it is. Well, after seeing the picture quality, that just doesn't matter to me now. It is an amazing lens.
I took a lot of non actions photos that I will post elsewhere, but here are my first tries at the wakeboarding/tubing/waterskiing pictures. It was windy on Sat. and there was a lot of rough water, which made getting the pictures even harder. I was happy with the results considering my inexperience. Thanks to all who helped me beforehand. I really like the dynamic focusing area. It helped with the erratic moving skiiers.

This wasn't the sharpest shot--but it was the best capture of the day in the opinion of all who were there. Their faces say it all in this one.

All were shot with my D70 and the 70-200 with the VR turned on to active. I used continuous focus with dynamic area focusing selected. ISO was set at 400 to keep the shutter speed very fast. I used Aperture mode with varied apertures. It was a fun experience. Thanks to all who helped me last Friday. Of course any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.
More will be added to my gallery as the postprocessing is completed.
