    D300 300f2.8 hand-held. Manual exposure mode. ISO 1000 f4 1/1600s.

    Cropped. Sunset time. Sidelight from the left of the photo.

    Going through some older photos to create more room on the hard-drive and found this one.

    Shot about two months ago.

    C&C welcome and thanks for looking !

    Hi Desmond Any of those guys in flight its an accomplishment !!!!

    I like the flight position, exposure and under wing detail HA doesn't bother me that much since the bird is fixed on something Is it much of a crop? lots of dof for the aperture The times I went after those with the 300 2.8 I ran out of steam for the weight of the lens !! Did great for the first few passes !!!

    Quite a crop. Happy that the details still hold up ok.

    I'm doing better now holding the lens for time. Yep, I bought it for chasing swallows :) Of course it will be much easier with a 300f4.
