bought this week. I know it's not highly rated -- it's obviously a
consumer zoom -- but I'm rather pleased with it. I shot people walking
down the street with the camera set to continuous autofocus. This young
lady was probably the most photogenic. This shot is at 320mm, f6.7 @
1/500, ISO 400. I'm beginning to really like autofocus zooms for
informal, just for fun shoots. Until this year, I had never really shot
with a zoom and had never owned an autofocus camera. There's something
to be said for sloth <g>..

1) Shel's right: nice bokeh, 2) That's a nice relaxed, natural look on her face (in part due to the fact she probably had no idea she was being photographed <g>), 3) I don't know if it's the wind, or that she did that "head flip" thing that women with that type of hair seem so adept at, or maybe a bit of both, but to me, the hair makes the photo, 4) You're right, she ~is~ very pretty - that helps the photo a lot, too... <vbg>
Nice one, Paul, frank
