David Kirsch Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 A while back I was able to get some time at Radio Road to get more practice with my new lens. Here's a few: 1-3. Ruddy duck (#3 especially for Nello) Jul 29, 2009 at 02:03 AM

David Kirsch Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 4-6. Couple of ducklings (very cute) and I think a Northern Pintail. Jul 29, 2009 at 02:05 AM

David Kirsch Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 7-9. #7 caught my eye because of the strange position. Kinda yoga-like. I was just leaving when the egret flew by and I was lucky to get it. Thanks for looking. Jul 29, 2009 at 02:07 AM

genefixer Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 David Some very nice shots here and the ducklings are adorable!! IMHO, I do suggest that you brighten the harsh shadows a bit to bring out the detail. best Mike Jul 29, 2009 at 03:02 AM

danjacquitaylo Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Hi David, Very nice shots. I agree w/ Mike here. Plus, most are a bit too centered for comp. Excellent IFs in #7 and 8. Dan Jul 29, 2009 at 03:04 AM

jakita33 Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Nice practice set! I like #4 the best because the duckling is cute and the water ripples are perfect. J Jul 29, 2009 at 04:08 AM

GAREN Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Excellent shots David well done Garen Jul 29, 2009 at 06:38 AM

Ted ellis Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Well done. The last two are exceptional. Beautiful bgs. Ted Jul 29, 2009 at 01:10 PM

David Kirsch Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Mike and Dan, I'll work on those shadows a bit. but I screwed up on that shoot and had the camera in SMALL JPEG! (I had just shot some pics for some stuff I was selling and forgot to reset it to RAW). Boy, was I pi***d when I got home and saw that. Anyway, I'll give it a try. Dan, I also thought they were a bit too centered. Which way should they be moved. Do I want more space in front of the bird, to fly/move into, or behind it. And how about vertical location? What about the ducklings, where there's nothing but h20? Jul 29, 2009 at 02:43 PM

Tim Kuhn Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Nice job on these David ! The others have made some great suggestions. To answer part of your questions, on the comp you want to leave more room in front of the bird, space for them to look into/swim into. On the first duckling, crop some off of the bottom and the right. Just mess around with it and see what you like. Tim Jul 29, 2009 at 04:03 PM

jmponfil Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Great series...nicely done! I agree about a little cropping for image placement. On 1,2,4,6 and 7 I would crop a little off the top and the right side. Just MHO! Thanks for sharing! Jul 29, 2009 at 04:29 PM

David Kirsch Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Here are two that I have done some additional processing to bring out the shadow details and to reframe. Are these better? Jul 30, 2009 at 12:38 AM

z06jim Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #14 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Great job with the new lens... ...I'm still trying to learn how to use my 300 properly too, but lovin' it so far!... Jul 30, 2009 at 01:31 AM

TON HUNG Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 look very good Davis, Jul 30, 2009 at 02:18 AM

bvihlidal Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #16 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Great! Wish Ruddys had their full plumage when they are in my neck of the woods. Jul 30, 2009 at 04:50 AM

Thang Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #17 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 David - my pick of the bunch is #5 - love the golden light and reflection! Jul 30, 2009 at 05:09 AM

David Kirsch Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #18 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Thanks so much guys. Your comments are appreciated. David Jul 30, 2009 at 04:03 PM

jmponfil Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #19 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 I like them better! What do you think? Jul 30, 2009 at 04:16 PM

noelle Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #20 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Very nice.... that lens really has potential. #4 is really adorable and the background and image in #8 is sweet! Jul 30, 2009 at 04:51 PM

I may try to tone down the h20 somewhat. I also see how the re-cropping improved them. Thanks Noelle David Jul 31, 2009 at 05:07 PM

anthony whitmo Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #22 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Nice Ruddy Nello shot Hey I keep hearing about Rodeo Road > I'm gonna have to hit that one up this winter!! I know nothing about it but I'm sure I'll find some info online. Nice job on these david Ant Jul 31, 2009 at 05:33 PM

David Kirsch Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #23 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Thank you Ant. I really like RR once I found it. I heard about it at a seminar and tried it out. Easy to get to and lots of variety. And you can get really close to the birds, too. Let me know when you want to go! David Jul 31, 2009 at 06:37 PM

anthony whitmo Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #24 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Will Do David! Is it a walk around area with wetlands or is it a drive through area like Yolo? Aug 01, 2009 at 03:08 AM

David Kirsch Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #25 · More practice w/ 300mm f2.8 Oh, definitely walk around. 2 lagoons and over a hill to a wide marshlike area. Aug 01, 2009 at 07:43 PM
