    How does the machine gun focus before the bird is half way to the east coast?

    I could do that, if my "gun" would shoot. Won't.

    Wonder if the F5.6 400 would.

    Do you literally raise your camera to a flyover like that and have the lens focus?

    Which lens?

    Also, was the EV compensation setting the same for both shots? Also, what F stop? You have enough DOF for the eye plus.......the whole bird.

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
