I continue to be very pleased with the performance of the D800... keeper rate has gone up dramatically.

D800 | 300 f/4 w TC-14E II

All C&C are greatly encouraged and most appreciated.

[Edit] Karl's keen eye persuaded me to add a bit of contrast to the Greenies... thanks Karl, they're much better.

Kirk - nice set, the D800 looks to doing well in your hands. #1 looks like a Northern Shoveler and not a Mallard.

Yeah oh yeah oh yeah! Diggin the new shots from the new gear man!

Yikes...who needs 11fps to get one good one when you can get shots like these at less than half that rate! Top shelf shots Kirk. (by the way the answer to the first question is me )

Geez! Wow! Kirk! The D800 shines like a diamond in your hands buddy. All are great, no favs.

lovely images for sure Kirk.. nicely done

An extra nice set Kirk. All are nice and sharp, but 1 stands out for me ~ Ron

A darned good looking set Kirk, with #1 making me pause for a good long look. That's a beauty.

Gold my friend pure gold. I scrolled through these and each one brought all sorts of thoughts of praise to my mind. You sure are skilled Kruk, even if you have a funny name. Seriously between your techs and your style you shots truly do stand out from the rest. Real eye candy my friend. You won me over with the first but even an easier shot, such as 3, is an excellent execution. Super work Kirk!

Tim

These are all super images. #1 is a stunner

Randy

You are setting the bar way up there

You're really shovelin' the D800 love out, Kirkster

these look great Kirk

i just got a 2nd d800 they are so good but I still like the fps from the d4 sometimes

Kirk, Very nice set. My personal favorite is #1.

What do you attribute the increase in keeper rate to with the D800? Is it ISO, the ability to crop in more, or something else?

Thanks for sharing the images and information.
