Howdy FM'ers,

Here are a couple from this morning. For what ever reason, I sure had problems with focusing today, so............, in the next lifetime, I might figure it out.

Your C&C is most welcome,

Larry

Focus looks fine on these. Be happy for the winners and go over the settings and methods you used that day. Sometimes we are just off.

#3 for me.

Hey Tim,

I hope that I get it out of my system prior to the return of the eagles. Thanks for looking in.

Howdy buddy

I really really like the #1 pano, cool shot, smart crop

#2 looks super and you must have been pretty close on these!
#3 looks like your struggle shot, maybe you were closer than MFD or not in one shot mode?? Hey, if it makes you feel better I shot about 5o shots the other day in low light, thought I had a few keepers, nope trash binned the whole folder

I do have a good comeback for you, but on second thought, I best not put it into print. Thanks Will.

I think half of my problem is manual focus on some of these with or without my glasses. Thank you for the look.

Hi Karl,

These 3 shots were the best of about 150, I guess everyone has days like this. I was using MF for some of these, and some were with AF. There are times when I have trouble with my glasses and using the camera. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, we all have days like that Larry.

Isn't digital cool

I really like the #1 pano a lot... just the right amount of birds and they flow really well together.

#2 has great wing position and a nice composition, my only nit is that you can't see the entire head of the trailing bird. It's just my personal taste not to have any overlapping birds in the frame... that's one of the reasons why I like #1 so much.

Very nice work.

Hi Kirk,

I liked #1 as well. I was having so much trouble focusing that day. The over lapping geese was one photo that was in focus. I do agree with your comment about over lapping, and I usually delete them as well. Thanks for looking in.
