if you do not cut off a tip how in the hell are you going to slow them down for panning i ask you

i have not used raw shooter for awhile mmm maybe give a try again and i had to go get em before the machine gun cut em alll down

i will give you a call look at your phone from timer to time

Hey Jeff,

Good shots. Those guys are hard to shoot in the air because they move pretty fast. Usually I will shoot them with a positive EV adjustment. I will usually start at ev +0.7

So, first let me say good job - the first is quite nice! Would you believe I saw my first cormorant ever on Sunday. I didn't know they lived here, so I really had to have a good look. Got several shots(no bifs tho), one good enough to clearly id it as a cormorant!

I will share it once I have the hard drive space to start my 3 gigs of photos from the weekend. sigh!
