Hey! Thank you very much I'm really glad you like this!! It was the first shot as soon as I arrived at the lake. Just set up and it just came over. Focusing on these moving is really hard, but when I heard the auto focus beep, I just snapped away. I was very pleased when I seen this later! All the best for the new year Dusk!!

4000/sec at f5.6!! That's the fastest shutter speed on my camera!! I had the camera in av mode and selected the largest aperture. Forgetting about the ISO (it was on 1600) the camera selected a very fast shutter!! Sorry it's taken so long!! Take it easy man!

AKennethN In reply to quicksimon [2006-09-28 12:52:04 +0000 UTC]

1/4000?! That's at least 4 times faster than my current manual! Crazy, fast, mate.

Thanks very much Sven!!! Thanks for the too The wings look very grainy as I took this as soon as i got there and forgot about my ISO, it was taken at 1600! I think this probably helped keep its head frozen and sharp though! Shooting in AV mode, the camera would have selected a very fast shutter speed

Thanks very much mate! i don't know It was as soon as i got there!! I used a tripod which helps keep the camera steady for macro shots! Just seen it there flying, focused manually, then switched to auto focus, then fired away!!!! using a cable release also helps to eliminate camera shake!

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, the old faithful sigma 70-300 I've got the 105 macro, but they don't come close enough for that! As I said to Sven, I forgot about my ISO for this shot (this was taken at 1600) So the out of focus wings looks grainy. Shooting in AV mode, the camera would have selected a fast shutter speed, so i reckon this helped to freeze the df and keep its head sharp
