A cracking shot Phillip!!

I'm still waiting to get my first 'digital' shot of these chaps {got a few on film though}.

A bit off topic, but do you shoot with 'lock-on' disabled {a4}. Just curious, as i am still fine-tuning various settings on my trusty D2h.

Hi Alan yes a4 set to off/disabled.

Phillip.

Thanks for that Phillip!

There seems to be some debate over that setting {possibly a preference between sports shooters and wildlife shooters

}.

Anyway, i don't want to distract from this posting, but i shall try my luck with it disabled, and see how it pans out.

Thanks for that!

Alan

Hi Phillip,

The setting may be busy, but a really nice pose, I like it a lot...

Brilliant shot Phillip and there's still a ton of detail - cracker

Hi Phillip

Nice shot, sharp, lots of detail, good exposure. Background is a bit drab, although a typical habitat, but otherwise a fine image.

cheers
