Close up Swan portrait
Went out in the nice weather today to try and get some real world shots with the 70-200 VR that I have borrowed (from fellow member Colin, thanks again :) ). Its a joy to use and its on my shopping list pretty soon. Anyway I thought I'd share my favourite picture from the day...

D200, 70-200 VR @ 200mm. Not at my pc right now but I 'think' it was around 1/640 at f5. No flash, the glint in the eye is the sun coming through the tree branches that were above us.

Hi Richard,

Very nice indeed. It is well exposed with good details in the whites and I like the composition.

Well Done

Regards

Rob
