New bird feeder, new birds, new D200

And after 3 days I'm still finding new buttons to push on the D200. Here are 2 Gold Finches I got lucky capturing.

Well, it's about time! Been waiting & waiting for these. Beautiful shots - love the second one. So I guess you like your new toy, huh?

Congrats on the new camera. Didn't realize you were in the market for a new one. That old one seemed to take fine pictures. You know you should have bought one that takes those purdy white lenses. :uhoh

Nice shots William. Hope you are enjoying your new rig. It's always fun to get new "stuff". Let's hope the shiny new gear doesn't scare off those eagles. Keep 'em coming.

Goncrats William. The D200 is a awesome camera.

The captures are really something. Which lens did you use?

Thanks for sharing.

Dick.

Thanks Dick, I'm looking forward to learning more about this camera, and better pictures. I used a 300mm f4. @ 1/2500, and I also had my SB800 and camera set at FP to sync. up with the shutter. That's what I'm trying to accomplish with the Gold finches at the feeder. There are plenty of birds fighting for the food, so I should get some interesting shots if I work this out.

Thanks Troy, you're right about that, but at least I have plenty of opportunities to practice.

Good move on the D200 that's one fine camera. You did a great job on these captures (they do have a high degree of difficulty).
