Title: The D5 does Artistic gymnastics
Post by: Tersn on December 27, 2016, 21:30:07: I took the D5 to a gymnastics competition to shoot some fast sports action with the 70-200/2.8 VR II on. Shot at 1/1000, f/2.8, ISO about 5000, group AF.

More pictures on my Flickr sight:

I would have thought the back ground would be more out of focus at 2.8,,,

Thank you! I believe all of my images with that lens were at f 2.8.

As you already proved with wildlife images, your reflex nerve shines here!

Thanks for your kind remark, Akira.
I have been very busy recently, but hope to get more time the upcoming year.

Thanks. Yes, in particular I find the D5 good at shooting long image series at 12 frames a second. Might eventually be doing some videos with it too.
