Hi all!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Went on the usual dog walk today!

Got myself an old Nikon D100 a week or so ago, managed to get it cheap. Also got the 70-300mm AFS G, so was hoping to have a little bit of a play.

Managed to get these....

1. I know this isnt the best but at least I kind of froze him/her flying. :bonk:

Love #2 :thumbs:

[MarkWoodhall22]

Thanks hairy! Anything in particular you prefer about 2 compared to 5? Or just composition?

i like number 2 too :) mainly becuase the depth of field is better and he chicks are in focus :)

Well, not taking anything away from #5, a beautiful shot, Its just #2 has the edge for me. Dunno why, but that one made me look longer :)

I do like number 2 as well, I did think though that the out of focus chick in the background added to to effect of the shot.

I guess they are better in focus though, like number 2 :)
