Overshooting the ramp


I was sitting so close that it was easy to fill the frame with my 80-200 lens, but I had a hard time getting the focus where it should be.

Looks pretty good to me. It's tough to focus on something moving that quickly.

Gunnsteinn Jonsson replies:
Thanks John :) I have an old 80-200 f2.8L lens which I think produce very good quality photos but I think it is rather slow compared to the new lenses on the market. It is either that or I have to practice more :)

LOL you might be right :) I will use that as my excuse :) I just told John that I had an old 80-200 f2.8L lens which I think produce very good quality photos but I think it is rather slow compared to the new lenses on the market. It is either that or I have to practice more :) I might use this excuse when I tell my wife that I have to buy a new lens :)

Oh yes, kind of a tactical approach ... perhaps you should reupload the shot so that we can make every endeavor to tear it apart :-)

Frábær þessi... þú náðir flugtakinu! :o) Er þetta kría?

Edit: Hehe... var að lesa titilinn og sá að þetta er lending en ekki flugtak! Og misheppnuð lending þar að auki! En flottir "flapsarnir" hjá henni samt...

Takk Begga :) Þetta er víst einhverskonar þerna, eitthvað skilt kríunni held ég. Ég er alveg svakalega vitlaus í þessum fuglamálum LOL

Takk Oddur :) Ég tók mikið af myndum en ég var ekkert sérstaklega ánægður með neina þeirra. Þessar myndir eru það besta af 100 myndum.
