HSBC Wakeboard World Cup 2004

Well, after a disappointing shopping at CP (MS) for a carbon monopod, I decided to drop by the event and did some shots.... which helps reminds me that I need a TC

At 200mm, the attempt was quite futile... so took more audience shots than stunt shots

Data on this photo is wrong.. should read VR 70-200mm @ 200mm ISO 320 1/1250 @F/2.8

Good shots of the sideshow there. But, with the VR lens, you should be able to shoot at much slower speed.

Hi I was there too - but yur shots were great - good speed shots !

By the way - how did you get the black borders - real cool - is there an easier way then using photoshop ? Hope you can help a newbie like me.

um... since a lot of newbie asked me this question, here's a simple trick to it.

Crop your pictures to the ideal size in photoshop first, say 640x438.

Duplicate the image into a new layer (layer 2)
Delete away the image and fill it with black(Background)

Then goto Image>Canvas Size

Check on the box> Relative
Input value of : 20 for Width (up to your preference. purpose here is to set the black border width)
Input value of : 20 for Width (up to your preference. purpose here is to set the black border width)

Tada! You have your black border. The rest are easy. Just input your camera settings in.

------------------------------

For the subsequent pictures, resize them to 640x438, copy, then paste in. It should fit nicely in the middle.
