Thanks! I have a Canon S3 IS. As far as settings, I'm not really sure what info to put...my info box in iPhoto only has a few entries.... (I had to download the photos on a PC and burn them to a disk to bring home....not sure if that made me lose the info or not....) Anyway, here's what it says:
Shutter: 1/1600
Aperture: f 4.0
Max Aperture: f 3.5
Exposure Bias: 0.00
Focal Length: 72.00mm
The only adjustments I made in Photoshop were to the brightness (4) and contrast (10).
Not sure if this is too late... But I only found this thread today, and thought I'd post a pic I snapped two weeks ago at the World Enduro Canada race (I was an official photographer there). I massaged the image in PhotoShop a bit to bring out the yellow, crop a bit tighter and reduce the contrast of the surroundings, and added a slight dark fringing effect to enhance the overall image.
