more flying weeds
Here is another shot taken the same time as the previous image. This one is no where near as nice but I did get rather nice sharpness on the flying geese. This one is iso 400, f4, 1/1000th sec, 500mm, D2X.

David,
Your killing me with the shots from that 500mm. :eek: OOPS, maybe not the right choice of words. :cool:

You have yourself, here...another excellent capture. STOP POSTING IMAGES from that 500mm! I cant afford it dude :wink:

Why do you call them weeds, David? Other than that, yeah, what Rick said.

Another nice one David. I do agree though, it's hard to top the one you already posted.

Thanks guys.
Mark, I call them weeds primarily as a joke. At Nisqually, there are thousands of them and they create a mess. At my house, each spring I'll have 20-40 of them on my lawn. My neighbor shoots them with a paintball gun. I used to call them the Royal Canadian Fertilizer Squadron.
