Nice composition Paul!


Now we have to work on getting it a little sharper, faster shutter speed and higher iSO, monopod, support your elbows, hold your breath, be gentle with the shutter button. Is this cropped? Oh.., you could breathe now.


That big rock on the left, looks like a Seal coming out of the water, that has turned to stone. Are you Dr. Seuss or a Wizard?


What focusing modes and AF points are you using?

Thanks for the tips Rich! I went out and tried again hopefully I did better. I took my monopod this time!!


The shot above is cropped but otherwise no PP. I was shooting with AI servo with high speed continuous and Manual Select :Zone AF in the center zone.


Today I used same except single point AF at the center point.


I just got back so I am just now loading images. Hopefully I

Richard, I never feed anything! In this case it's the State that did the feeding []. The CA Department of Fish and Gamesplants rainbow trouts once every two weeks at some of the local parks' lakes for recreational fishing.


I'm still after THE fullframe shot with ISO 400 and below, good light, good head angle of fish and bird and a lot of splashes...


Here's theone I got this morning, it'll do for now until the next planting

Wow, great capture, Nate, like the splashes sooooo much!


Paul, nice try of BIF, I like the pose and lighting, exposure is right to me. bird's eye is not sharp enough, looks like a little not in focus to me, and it will be better if you could put the bird more on the right side IMO.
