Been lurking and learning from comment on UHH for several months. Seeing the crisp photos attached to many posts I started throwing rocks at my 10 year old Pentax istDS. I know...lots of the issues are not with the camera but the person behind the lens. Well anyway, I had in mind upgrading to a Nikon D5200 but I sold a piece of my ham radio gear that increased by budget... Got a refurbished D7000 and an AF-S 18-200 VRII as a walk around lens. Most of my stuff is landscape on trips here and there. I play with macro shots of flowers now and then.

I enjoy the forum and the variety of comments....

Welcome to the Hog, BF. Looks to me like the focus was in the center of the frame. Was your camera set for a single focus point or multiple points? ;)

David,

Multipoint focus rather than single for both of the shots. Page 91 to page 99 in the D7000 manual talks about Focus and all the knobs/buttons associated with Focus. I'm still in the Introduction section. :)
