Not thats a beautiful shot! I am sure it would have been lovely if they were all spaced aaprt but I actually like the tight formation of them here :toast:

A good grouping a Whoopers and with a bit of Colour Temp adjustment will be a fine image.

Hi Phillip, I think the limited colour palette works exceptionally well here. Can I ask what settings you use on your D2x for flight shots?

Hi John continuous servo af (AF-C) group dynamic centrepoint and the little switch on the back of the camera on the triangle, I also set the autofocus to focus priority so in theory it should only take a image when it is in focus :rolleyes: I do not have it set to closeest subject priority and I have the A4 option set to normal I personally feel that they went a little bit overboard with all the options they have given us with the D2x's autofocus settings.
