number 2 would have been a great shot IF it was in focus.
its a shame they are all out of focus,maybe you should try again using a faster shutter speed
Hi,
Agree with the focus, but totally feel for you. Just recently took my first sports shots and "action" in focus is damn tricky..
Compositionally, I'd play around with the horizontal lines a bit to perhaps straighten them and also crop the swan/s off centre. #2 for me is the most encouraging shot. Will try and post up what I mean..
Great work though. Get back there with a tripod, faster shutter and burst some shots!
Cheers,
A
I have checked the exif and all looks fine there so it is a focussing issue. Leave slightly more space on the side the subject is moving into, it gives a better composition.
the added one is the best of the set, not easy to take are they
