Were those rocks in the middle there just like that or did you set it up? either way its a fantastic shot
That is what is known as a "cairn". They are meant to help navigate..ie: this is where to cross the creek. We use them here as well when on long treks, so as to not get lost, or to show someone who is suppose to meet you, which way you went, and what path to take.
That is an interesting one, the way it is balanced outward!!
Beautiful pics Sedona rocks!!!!
Throughout the ages, they serve other purpose http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairn

I guess if you want to play with your ISO, shutter speed, or exposure compensation or something you can go manual. But unless you're going for a specific effect, I would stick to autofocus even in manual mode, stuff happens too quickly in sports. 99.99999999999999992342342089345rsdfss453% of the time, the camera can find the sharpest position faster than I can.
Vulgar, get your ass out of auto everything (use aperture priority) and shoot at a larger apertures to reduce the dof and isolate your subjects better. Bright sunlight isn`t the best conditions either, shoot earlier or later for less harsh light. RAW won`t make a HUGE difference, but it certainly gives you more to work with in post.
Whoa.there.tiger. I have a Kiev 4 somewhere,it`s typical russian "quality" and nothing special really, look cool though
