One from the Farnes earlier this year, very pleased with the tracking of the D2X as these don't hang around.

Cheers now

I had a go at these at the weekend and tracking in the sky was fine for my 1d2 and 500/4. The problem was tracking with a darker BG and also less contrast... oh, and handholding!!

Great shot... hope my 4gb of efforts gets one like this out of it. Sadly, I doubt it!!!

That 300mm lens is perfect for these . Nice work :toast:

Yea, very good work with that D2x of yours, although there is no blurring of wings it still suggests that the bird was travelling fast. Well done.

Ungainly on land but a master of the air. Great capture and BG.

What no fish :eek: :eek:

Just shows how good the D2X is at locking onto its subject.

Well taken Tim :toast: :toast:
