Paul; I'd say that is one of the best, if not THE best, bird shot I've seen from you. The noise is controlled better, and the sharpness is good. Those little buggers never stand still as you say, so much of the effort involved in shooting them is being able to acquire focus quickly and getting the shot off. I tend to prefocus on a favorite perch and hope they land back there. -- Christian -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
