    dancing the jig

    Showing off their athleticism, it's almost always the younger morris men dancing the jig.

    I just kept shooting while he danced, and this caught my eye in reviewing.
    Yes his face is cut off, but look down, he's there hovering above his head's shadow at the peak of the jump.

    Wombat-

    Love the moment! I only mind a little bit about his head being chopped off and I immediately noticed his head in the shadow but the rear focus on this would be a deal killer for me.

    Thanks, I thought about photoshopping the background, but I've not seen anyone make it look convincing bokeh rather than just fuzzy.

    I wanted a bit of motion blur, not quite stopped, and couldn't get less than 100ISO on the GH-1 which left me at f/9 when I'd have preferred f/5.6 wide open. Time to buy some small ND filters to fit the 4/3 lenses.
    I didn't want to lug all my Canon gear so I went light with the GH-1 and E-P1.

    So that's motion blur not soft? Oh I getcha! An ND would have helped alot here but I never remember to have one when I need one personally.
