Why do you want it to focus always at infinity? Does it not autofocus on the D90?

just to clarify, focusing at infinity means both the subject and background are sharp right? No bokeh?

^ That image reminded me of one of my favorite pictures I've taken...
Anyways... tried something new mainly out of boredom and being uninspired.

I like this...but i think it would be better if the coffee cup is sharper and the front tip of cookie plate and the back ground is blurry.

Thanks for the input...
My tripod was in a really tight space and I had to
manual focus the shot so it isn't as sharp as it could be...
Hopefully I can retake the shot tomorrow morning and tweak the imperfections.

Not really no. That has to do with your aperture. Focusing to infinity would just focus to the longest distance possible, possibly leaving yoursubject out of focus.
Pat, good stuff man! Must be an awesome feeling getting your work published!
... Some day.

Alright NT, help me out. My cousin plays volleyball for BYU and i want to do a scrapbook type
thing for him. But i've never taken live sports shots in my life and when i attempted to take some pics
at his game tonight most of them turned out really bad and pretty blurry. Does anyone have any tips
or advice for me? i'm shooting with a Cannon XSI if that helps and i have a 55-250mm lens and a 18-55mm lens.
Thanks in advance.
and here's a sequence of shots that i did take tonight that turned out "ok"...

The problem you have is your lenses are very slow especially in the long end. In other words when you use the longer end of your lenses' focallength (250mm and 55mm respectively), the aperture narrows and so you will need to compensate by either dropping down your shutter speed or cranking up yourISO for an indoor sports event where lighting is not the best. Because your aim is to freeze the action, using higher ISOs is your only real option. Avoiddropping your shutter speed lower than 1/100 otherwise you will end up with motion blur just like in some of the frames you've shown. The only other thingyou can do is to pick-up a fast zoom such as the Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8...but you'll obviously need quite a large budget for that.
Oh and switch your AF-mode to AI Servo so the camera automatically focuses on your moving subject.
