28th March 2008/ 29th March 2008

Murray and I have been limited in where we can shoot as the Tier-1 Media are the only ones with pool desk access. We are stuck in temporary stands near the starting blocks. Not too bad though, we can get some ok shots from there.

Still having problems with the MK3 focussing. Keepers are 5% – 10%, and the main problem seems to be focussing on the water in front of the swimmers. I have the AF points locked down to the centre only with no expansion etc… but still having problems. Must admit, that when the shots are in focus, they are pin-sharp….just not that manu of them.

Arranges access to the catwalk over the pool to see about overhead shots. Basically no good with high rails and a massive safety cage under the catwalk preventing any sight of the pool at all. Nice to see wht it looks like though.
