Homeward bound
Whooper swan (changed my mind on a Bewick id after looking at the remaining sequence shots)

Oly E-3, 300mm F2.8 iso 400, 1/600s at F6.3, hand held, IS mode 1 (my error should have been panning mode 2 :rolleyes: )metering centre weighted, exposure ev 0, .orf file converted to .dng and processed in CS2. +1 exp compensation. Cropped to 3x2 format and composition positioning.

This was the 4th shot in the first burst taken in anger with the E-3 and the Oly E 300mm lens, I was a bit brain dead with my settings, but settled down a bit later working methodically through the camera settings and exposure compensation

Nicely captured flight shot Mike and exposure looks good. Just looks a bit lonesome all on its own. Well done. :toast:
