Some deeply forked tail type swallows are starting to nest nearby. I'll pre focus next weekend and try it! Thanks all!

Conrad, real men shoot swallows only in full-throttle flight.

(This was shot with the 200 f/2.8 prime.....don't seem to have any shot with the 400.)

Conrad, feel free to call yourself whatever you like (real man)

Mr. PetKal...I will get a SIF next time with no tripod and it will be sharp!

I was just trying to help out our friend Conrad so he does not feel bad that I am kicking his butt !!!

You better be careful here, Conrad. Noelle is armed (with photoshop tools) and dangerous. You just wait till she gets those camo duds.

You ain't seen nuthin yet.

That's me not waiting around for the earth to rumble and the sky to fall when all HE-LL breaks lose, seeing that....it's ON!!!

I like that shot very much, Wing. It is spirited and whimsical and it breaks away from the garden-variety stilted N&W photography paradigms.
(BTW, you owe me $14.78 for this critique. I'll accept a postal money order.

)

thanks petkal, put it on my tab...

That's actually me startling some sort of duck from under a bridge as I walked over it and me not picking up my weapon fast enough to shoot.

I like this image.... I like the way the grass is reflecting and the colors of the ducks feathers are really nice!

Thank you, Noelle, that's one sweet pijun......exposed right, sharp, perfect colours, against a very interesting texture fore/background.

PetKal....I was so bummed out the day I was taking these. I accidentally deleted a file of a pijun taking a bath

The backround is the parking lot they hang out in. They look pretty cool when the fluff their feathers this way.

With this running duck the problem was that I sneaked up to him way too close, so I ran out of any framing margin.

PetKal... I love those ducks!

The ones in the bay here are too far away for me to get a good image of.

I have that problem sometimes at the park with the 400mm...to close

I personally don't mind PP at all as long as I am not using it......

* as a crutch by taking the emphasis away from developing/improving my photographic skill, and

* to distort/falsify the reality photographed.

However, obviously different people have different ideas on how photography and computer graphics interact and blend with each other.

Ah feel the same way! Thanks!
