Nice action shot! We try to make it a practice here to always post the particulars of the shot itself, so others can see how you accomplished the excellent picture. If you have an opportunity, please comment with the body, lens, focal length, f/stop, ISO, camera mode, etc. You may even want to just do it by editing your original post, so the info will be linked with the shot.

I very well could be horribly mistaken, but I think the width limit is 600px. :)

It is 800 pixels. The only reason I know is that I received a message on this when I joined this forum (very recently). It says "For display in the forums, size your images to 800px (or less) in width. The limits for uploading files to the site are currently set to 1024k max per image and 5120k max overall".

Good deal! Thanks for the absolute answer! I guess it never affect's me as I use the medium size on flickr's sharing option. It always seems small enough.

I hope I'm not anoying anybody, but nobody has film bird shot? I would love to see what others have done with film.

Wes,


What lens (combo?) did you use for this shot?

Sorry should have put that in the original post. 300 F/4 + 1.4 TC. Also this is a full frame shot.
