Excellent as ever from you both. Well done for catching them in near identical poses too!

Re: Shovelers in flight

Both excellent shots, you can really see the difference that an extra 600 iso makes between the two with the isolation of the bird against the water - for this I have to hand the top spot to Stan (sorry Dee)

Super shots! I'd be interested in what your AF settings were?

I still have not got around to experimenting with the settings but I think these shots pretty much suit the default case 1. So thts what I have been using and AI servo, centre focus point only selected
