Your cover photo is absolutely amazing. I try to capture action shots all the time and just haven't succeeded. Great job. I wish I saw the play in person. Great lay-out.

I've enjoyed the coverage and look forward to each posting.

Thanks TH!

As for how to get great action shots of Ultimate without breaking the bank:

1) Nikon D40 (~$500)
2) 70-300mm 5.6 lens (~$125)
3) Aperture priority mode set to 6.3 or greater
4) ISO set to 400
5) Take shots in good lighting :)

That's the exact setup I use except that I still use my 4 year old D70. 150,000 actuations and counting -- great camera.

...or if you want to break the bank, pickup a Nikon D3 and a 400mm prime lens. Now THAT'S a fun rig to shoot with :)

Cheers,
