    Honkers

    I'm not one that is really too much into waterfowl. However, I can never pass up one in flight.

    They certainly are "honkers".

    Good shots, some a bit soft but still quite good.

    How do you keep the AF locked on #2, doesn't it try to focus on the background instead? MF?

    Thanks Kristine and Alex.

    I never employ manual focus. I use center focus AF, lock on and hope to keep it locked on until the image is captured. Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes I'm not. Is this one sharp enough for you? It's probably my sharpest goose to date.

    Thanks, Mike. I agree that this one is sharper.

    Just keep an eye on the halos...

    Whoops. I never saw that. Thanks.

    OK, fixed it. You have a good eye. But, I do see a sensor spot now. :cryin:
