OK I am wondering what settings everyone uses to shoot pictures in wakeboarding. For me personally I use all manual settings, then take a picture, see how its exposed and go from there. Lets hear how you do it....

Same here. When shooting from the boat, I...

1. Set the focus between 20m-infinity, depending on the zoom.
2. Open the aperture all the way.
3. Watch the real-time histogram while I set the shutter speed.

That real-time histogram is an awesome feature. If I didn't have that, I'd probably set the camera to aperture priority, let the camera figure out the shutter speed, and then switch over to full manual. Then, I'd take a shot and look at it, adjusting the shutter speed as necessary.

I always shoot at ISO100 to avoid noise.

i use iso 100-200, auto focus, then shoot at about 1/750 or 1/1000 aperature around 4.0 to 6.7.

I set ISO, high speed continuous drive, then metering, then either shutter, aperature, manual depending on the effect I want, then ai servo. I always shoot raw and adjust in PS CS.
