I am starting to get the hang of it, took a lot and managed to get some good ones. Geese are unedited except cropping, the mallard with leaves I was trying out the Capture NX to try and improve one. Lens was a Sigma 170-500 on a monopod, shutter priority setting. Having a blast learning this one.
This board is a great resource and I have aquired much knowledge and lost much sleep because of D Grin since I bought the D300.

    Welcome to the sleepless club thumb.gif
    There is a wealth of knowledge to be found in the many forums here at DGRIN.

    The first image looks a bit blown out in the highlights,
    but the duck sure has some nice colour about it nod.gif

    I love the third shot of the Goose,
    keeping an eye on you and what your doing hehehe!

    Yes the first one is on the light side I went to print and it came out a bit dark so I lighten it a bit more to get a good print. Have to get a better synch between monitor and printer.

    Looks like you're off to a good start. The first shot is a bit OE.

    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!"
