Not a thing wrong with any of those. Great shootin

Alright, is it just me or are others tired of seeing these obviously trained birds?!:biggrin: Great shooting, Karen. These are all very nice.

 

[Louis Champan]

Wow, Karen what a superb set. I thought I had a favorite but more I moved down the better they got, so they're all my picks.

 

[Allan]

Great set - sharp and well exposed.

 

[Tyr-Sog]

[alexf]

Terrific set Karen. I am like Louie hard to pick a favorite but if I did it would be #1 as I love the wing position of that shot. Way to go.

Thanks so very much for the comments! I truly appreciate the encouragement!

I admire each of you and consider you role models. God Bless!

I bought that lens used last year and this was the first time I really used it. Gotta' say, that 300/2.8 is sweet - but HEAVY! LOL!

 

[drr1531]

All excellent, Karen. Nos.3 and 6 are awesome.

 

[troylim]

Excellent series Karen.
Did you handhold that lens?

 

[Butlerkid]

Yep.....tried a monopod, but the monopod just seemed too awkward. Tracking and keeping focus on BIF is new to me...this was good practice!

I had a sore arm for a couple of days! LOL!

 

[Pa]

Top notch, Karen. I don't think I could shoot a 300/2.8 handheld. :redface:

 

[Butlerkid]

Thank you, Pa!

I was so excited to be out shooting, I guess the adrenaline helped me wave about 10 lbs in the air! LOL!
