Ringed Plover
Hello all,

I'm thoroughly enjoying my venture into the realms of AF, and my frustrations of dodgy meters and back-focusing problems seem to be well behind me now {fingers crossed}.

Anyway, just thought i would post an effort from monday.

Nikon D2h
400mm/2.8
TC-16a
400iso
1/800 @f11
Aperture priority {nice to now have a camera that allows me to use 'in-built' metering with my ais lens}
AF-C mode
Focus Priority
Slight crop

So you did emerge from the cave after all :biggrin:. BDW I'm developing split personality with large format in one hand and digital in the other :jump:.

Photo you presented is great! I especially like the colourful background.

Cheers,
Marko
