First try at birdies

This afternoon, I spent a few hours in Baie-du-Fèvre, a small town across the Saint-Laurence river from Trois-Rivières. This is a very popular spot for watching migratory birds like geese and ducks.

Unfortunately, most of them are gone up north at this time of year. I still managed to get a few keepers with my D2H, my new 70-200 VR and a 1.4 Kenko Pro TC. Here's a few for you to enjoy.

NIKON D2H    ---    280mm    f/8.0    1/400s    ISO 200

NIKON D2H    ---    280mm    f/5.6    1/1000s    ISO 200

C&C welcomed and appreciated.

 

Those big birds don't flap their wings too fast so it wasn't too hard to stop the movement.

Thanks for the comments guys. I will work on my sharpening skills this week-end and I'll repost them.
