I have been out a couple of times now with my new D2X, mainly shooting Ospreys. While I am learning the camera, I am also questioning my technique. On many of my flight pictures the outside edges of the wings are blurry. At first, I thought this was a DOF issue due to shooting with a 500 lens with 1.4 TC. Since on many of the shots, the wings are on a parallel plane to the target, I am thinking it is either me or too slow a shutter speed. On checking the shutter speeds, they seem like they would be high enough to stop the motion. Between 1/640 and 1/1000. Could it be because I am not following through enough or camera shake? The body and heads seem to be in focus.
I use a gitzo metal tripod not sure of the model, a Jobu gimbal mount and Kirk plates. Here is a sample shot.
Any help is much appreciated.
