Stock-Photos 1 Posted May 7, 2011 Awesome capture. Contrasting background color makes the subject stand out. I presume you were panning? Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted May 8, 2011 What a superb shot and such high shutter speeds to get such clarity and contrast.. This is well worth a high mark in just the difficulty of getting such a shot.. Well done... MJ Link to comment

vbirke 0 Posted May 14, 2011 Have given a 6, however, IMHO one can see here some drawbacks of the equipment regarding such a very difficult and extremely challenging situation: especially when viewing larger I see ISO grain and the bird is not absolutely tack sharp. Hypothesis: might be due to - more or less - the fact that the D300 is a good camera but simply not a pro body and the lens is not a prime (only some Canon and Nikon primes are rated 10 at Fred Miranda etc.). It is not your fault at all, but compared to similar shots of some other fellow colleagues here who employ that "full stuff" / these extremely valuable but also very, very expensive lenses (at around or even > 10,000 $ - pro body plus prime 500 mm or 600 mm etc.), there has to be and there is actually a difference. One issue of course is - is it worth to invest so much money just to get the perfect sharpness in maybe eventually a few shots per year etc.? An enthusiast would say "yes" ("if I can afford")... Anyway, very well done and keep up your very good work.BR / Volker Link to comment
