Flying Low!

I had to pan pretty fast to try to keep up with these two, so the image might have been better.
But I am happy with it. I used a Nikon 28-300 VR with Kenko 1.4x converter.

Nikon D7000 ,Nikkor 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6D IF AF
1/250s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso900 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Terrific catch with both of them in the wings-down position.

Laura Milholland		29-Jan-2012 00:16
Wow, Vern! Excellent! And with the 28-300mm too! Marvelous job panning, and catching both wings down with the light coming through is wonderful. V!

Well composed, I give up on shots like this!

Very nice flight image.

Welll.......this is in fact an amazing shot, the birds are sharp and the panning gave the water some nice lines and still captured the reflection of one of the wings.

Excellent panning work. I'm amazed that you were able to pan and get such a great result with this set-up.

Hank Vander Velde		27-Jan-2012 15:21
Nice flight shot of the two. Hard to catch two in flight.

Bob Moeller		27-Jan-2012 15:13

Love the straight lines of the water!

Guest		27-Jan-2012 06:33
That is an amazing catch, and considering that you're panning and using the 1.4 TC, too, it's wonderfully sharp! Beautiful photo! Donna

Chris Cochems		27-Jan-2012 06:08
Amazing that you were able to focus and track with a 1.4 TC.

joseantonio		27-Jan-2012 05:53
