The Race

[Chris Kotze]

Canon 40 D
lens 100-400 L
SS 1/3200 Sec
ISO 800
F8.0
+ 0.3 step

I took some shots of the white face ducks and got this shot with the pigeon in the frame.

Interesting capture Chris, it looks as thought the WFD was looking at the pigeon in amazement. (a bit like a F1 car passing a bus)
The pigeon still has a lot of wing blur even at a SS of 1/3200.:eek:

[Stu Bowie]

I can see why the pigeon is in the lead here, they are very fast. Well done to get both in focus, and good exposure and colours on the WFD. Well captured Chris.

Cool shot. Love the action. Nice sharpness. Although they are moving left to right, the left edge feels a bit cramped to me. Just a little more room would be a positive IMHO.

[Brian Barcelos]

Great capture with two separate species in same frame in flight. Exposure and sharpness spot on. I'd add a little more room left and right to give it an almost pano feel. Congrats

Chris:

Very nice capture. From a comp. point, I agree about a bit more space to the left. If you do that however, I think you will need to add a small amount to the right to keep the sense of space to fly into. Pano concept would work well here as Brian mentioned.

Cheers
