Great capture cputeq, what did you use? Don't say the Sigmonster....
Hah, I wish I owned Sigmonster - Nah I used the little brother Bigma
I was only at 370mm, I wish I would have zoomed it a bit to get more of this without the crop, but I was just trying to get the sequence of him landing

Went on a cruise to the Caribbean last week, and here's a few shots I liked. It was my first real outing since I came back into the Nikon world (got a D5000 for now).
Very nice set Mike, well done
Trench - Nice shot of that lady rider And the photo quality isn't bad either
One more with a way-back lens - Vivitar 100mm f/2.8 macro (which are actually kinda hard to find).
Slung the D300 and my old 300f/4 ED over my shoulder for an early afternoon photowalk. It was a bit long for close quarters, but that was the challenge.
I have looked at this thread almost daily and some of the examples are amazing. My offering has a story. This was taken a few years ago with a D70 and Promaster zoom. It was literally a quick snap from our back porch. This was our Golden when he was getting up in years. We got him from a rescue foundation and we could not have got a better dog anywhere. He passed shortly after this was taken and we are now “owned” by another from the same place. The crop is not up for discussion as there was none. Some minor sharpening in Elements and that was about it. The Promaster has been given to someone who needed it more than me and the D70 replaced by a D90. Still, I like this photo and it’s probably the one I am most proud of. I call it "Old Friend".
^ ^ It's a great shot, and I can almost sense this old dog, and his mellow soul through your photo. I like the composition being nice and tight like this. If he had been mine, I'd treasure this. Thanks for sharing!

And that truly makes it a best. Beautiful story. Beautiful dog.
