Love your work with this one Miguel. Great expression on her face, perfect timing with the sand flying everywhere, and the caption makes it!

holy shit.. how does that black guy even reflect light?

thanks man. it was pretty tricky getting a shot like that with the d40's unimpressive 2.5 fps. i remember standing next to another photographer there with a mark III and feeling pretty bad listening to him hold down the shutter.
>> beethy !HJGkSBB3Ao
excellent photos!!!

D40 = 3fps
D40x = 2.5
I believe

Backwards. D40x is 3fps, D40 is 2.5

Lol thats what I get for reading wikipedia's shortened article (google preview)

just as something to try next time you do this, lag your shutter down to like 40 or something, and try to pan with the person in focus to create a motion blurred background. you might like it.

i like some of the action shots by the way good job.
