I'm so glad you want to go out with us again. I was worried that you would be "hesitant" to come out with us again.

I hope you had fun.

You didn't hold us up at all. That's the way those rides go. The first guy waits the longest. Everyone rides their own pace. No one gets left behind.

It's all about making sure everyone has a good time, stays safe, and should the worst happen have a group of people to look out after you and get you home safe.

Nikon D40 w/ 18-55mm f3.5 - 5.6... (the stock one) for most of the shots. and 55-200mm f4-5.6 for the tighter ones. Got my eye on the D300 and the 70-300mm VR. The D40 has a horrible time maintaining focus on fast moving things, which are my favorite things to shoot.

I hear ya. Maybe try better glass first...if it doesn't get better perhaps then a new body.

I shoot with a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. Tho...I dont do any moving stuff.

Professionally I'm shooting with a Sony BetaCam SX with a Canon Broadcast TV lens (15x zoom with a 2x doubler.):
