here's two more shots NO PP, these are straight from the camera, no sharping or any post production work. I was surprised to see the hen looking at me. . . I dont remember this when I shot it. These birds fly at 50 mph so they really are just a blur! For these shots I had the lens and camera on to Carbon 3371 fiesol, with leveling base, spiked feet and a King Cobra head. . .

Hey Tony,

These are spectacular. I particularly like the second shot with the duck's head looking towards the camera and the other duck. It is impressive that there is no post processing at all.

thanks james, I agree with you. It's all in camera, I had to start messing with the in camera settings of the d300 and shooting jpg fine in order to get things working fast enough. I am very impressed with the d300's ability to process jpg's. I too was very surprised. . .

simply beautiful, love the contrast in the first shot and the composition of the second.

Just was going through some shots and found this one. They are American Wigeons, except the one on the left with the red head, that's an Eurasion, very rare bird. . . .
