first try at shooting ducks

a bit harder to do than i thought, especially with the sun was going down, and the ducks were unwilling to stay still.

last one is nice, looks like they're invading though :lol:

panning is hard, thats why having quick focus is good. or, just get reall good with the one you have. learn the querks and how to adjust.

thanks damien. i wish i'd have more tries at panning, but it's not like i can tell the bird to fly by several times so i can get a good shot. lol. maybe another time.
