    Beautiful iq and processing, David!
    The choice of your point of view works really well, especially in #1 & 7.
    I also like how you captured the ejecting cartridges.

    Great use of b&w. Really liked 1,2,5-7. That shotgun in 7 is sure different.

    I think B&W makes even stronger images....and I've always been a fan of your shooting shots! :D

    You captured everything beautifully, except the noise, which you can just about SEE! Nicely done David.

    Karen - Thanks - much appreciated..

    I prefer to think of that as grain:D 

    Noise is about the only disadvantage I have found with the micro4/3rds Olympus system compared to the full frame D4 that I used to own - could push the iso really high with that camera when coupled to the 70-200 f2.8 - but boy was that a heavy rig to walk around with all day.

    I was thinking about the noise of the shotgun, NOT photographic noise! Meant as a compliment for these shots being so detailed. And while you cannot hear the noise of the shotgun, you can see visual cues that there is indeed loud noise.

    My mistake - assumed noise meant photo - not sound:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

    Almost makes me want to go out and try it again...but it's been 35 years since I was into this :eek: .

    Certainly excellent photographs, but I'm a curmudgeon who prefers color.:D

    Really great series! I love the three you added of the cartridges, especially No. 2! Like the smoke trails from the gun and back behind the man's head.
