Thanks! I think I need to work on this one in photoshop a little. Sharpness is all wrong.

May I ask what shutter speed this was taken at?
Lovely shot.

how much did you spend on all your photo-equipment?
300mm with f2.8 sounds kind of expensive to me

Westerberg In reply to limch [2006-03-04 01:52:14 +0000 UTC]

A little less than $9,000 at the moment - and there's more coming this summer. Let us never speak of this again.

Damn that is so cool, the way you've captured and framed this is just unreal. I'm taking it you had a couple of practice shots before getting this one , or was it just by luck first time?

Westerberg In reply to GE-Had [2006-03-01 22:29:47 +0000 UTC]

Are you kidding? I stood around for a good 20 minutes with the camera in HighSpeed Continuous Mode (8 FPS) and shot somewhere around 200 frames, trying out different backgrounds, positions and settings. Glad you like it.

Amazing shot. I love the clear focus and tilt of the bird in relation to the frame.

Westerberg In reply to astriduntu [2006-02-07 14:52:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's alot better than #1 and #2. I found it on my second sweep of the folder.

astriduntu In reply to Westerberg [2006-02-07 17:50:37 +0000 UTC]

but it was still good though. because i think..it's pretty hard to capture a photo of a flying bird
