 50mm lens.
I'm not thrilled with this - the lighting was really not the best, but it is so damn hot, I couldn't keep doing take after take. I like the grainy feel to this, I hope others do, too. I predict low 5's.

Post processing: I adjusted levels & curves, color balance, then decided to go with a duotone, brightness/contrast, USM for local contrast, cropped, and re-sized.

One of my top picks. I like the action you captured here, and the cropping reduced things down to a sort of "minimalist" view of the action. Good stuff.

Cool action shot. I like how you stopped the wood chips in mid air.
