Great shot TrenchMonkey. I still don't think ISO 3200 was the best ISO though. Your shutter was still 1/3200 of a second. You could have shot with a D300 at ISO 1600 and got half the shutter speed and still would have come out with a good shot. Am I wrong? 1/1500 of a second wouls still be Sufficient to freeze the action.

not in a million, Adam

That SS was 1/320th

(expressed by Fred and the gang as 10/3200ths...they favor Canon methinks) Handheld w/ BushHawk, VR on put me at the min. to get the shot.

320th of a second, now that makes more sense.

In that case, WooHoo for Nikon.

Great shot in wonderful light TM !

I agree, rarely took any wildlife shots at ISO3200 let alone keepers, let alone worhty of wall hanging with the D300.

With the D700 = no problem.

Yeah, were gettin' spoiled eh?! Thanks a lot, Andy.

Taken me a while to recalibrate my brain, that over ISO800 is actually gonna be useable or better !

and we're using "old" kit now that the D3S is pushing the ISO boundaries even further !!!!

For sure, lots of stuff goes on in the wild in little to no light. Doors to those captures are now opening

Mr. Monkey,
while I visit FM almost daily, I rarely post.... think my last post was almost a year ago.
But at the risk of a really bad double negative, I simply can't not comment on your capture.
Be-yootifull!

When I saw this image I couldn't help but think of artist David Maass's painting for Ducks Unlimited. An awesome image for sure.

Here's a link to David's DU print:Here

After re-reading my post, I don't think I said it quite right. When I said 'An awesome image for sure' I was talking about your photograph

I was kind of amazed at the quality of light in your photo, and I guess that makes it kind of 'painterly' in a very good way. In particular, the crispness of the birds in both the painting and your photo is very amazing.

Just wanted to be clear

Man, I could never get a shot like this at 6:30 am. Thank you Nikon!

The real truth is that he couldn't have got that shot if I hadn't been there to spook the flock for the Monkey

Still a great shot, TM

Ahhh, the truth about spookin' comes out!

Thank you!

Hey, Will--It's amazing what the D3's high ISO capability let you accomplish here, but man, I can hardly tear my eyes away from the composition of this shot! The horizontal band of color in the lower third is such a strong dividing line; everything above it is an explosion of motion, and even though the water bound birds below it are fiddling and feeding some, you and the camera have "frozen" them in time. This one's gotta go on your "wall of fame".

This is a powerful shot!

You and the Bosque crew have brought such strong work to the table that I admit I've started to take it for granted. I promise to pay more attention in the future; you've certainly grabbed it, here.....Mitch

Nice shot! Regarding spooking: I slowly walked toward the owls until they all looked at me and got in the right position in my owl family shot. Does the BushHawk make a big difference?

Thanks very much,
but I think you give me too much credit. The D3 and fast glass got this shot, I just pointed and hit the shutter.
