I'll bet you are matey - just look at those colours :toast:

Have you got the grip for it and jammed your D2X battery in, that'll give you your 8fps :wink:

Hi Andy,

Not yet, got to wait for santa!!! or a good price, think they are a bit OTT at the mo.

trouble at the mo PS8 not recognising the files so using bibble plug in?

Hi Paul

Glad to see a clear example of ADR in use, and a great image too - colours are fantastic. My problem is that the frame rate really slows down a bit too quickly with it on...

Lovely shot Paul, with these new nikon's there's no need to shoot as low as 200 ISO, I know this is very sharp anyways but the extra shutter speed increases the likelyhood and FPS.

Ligts a bit harsh, but you must be happy with that from a new camera. Enjoy.

Very nice shot. Question: how did you manage to handhold a Nikon 300 f/2.8 with an extender? I have one that weighs a "ton" and there is no way I could hand hold it and get a clear sharp photo. My hat's off to you! :toast:

Thank you all for your coments, things are looking good.

Sandford, just practice I guess, oh and turning your coat up over your elbow to keep it tucked in helps, look a prat though!! :wink:
