    Mergansers in Flight

    These two were also taken in Windsor at the marina on Sunday morning.

    Has anyone tried to hold a 400mm lens steady, sans tripod, after 4 or 5 too many pints at the pub the night before? I'm surprised they aren't as blurry as my eyes were when I woke up.

    Cheers,

    Randy.

    Feel free to edit my photos to improve them, don't be afraid to ask for the raw image if you feel you can help!

    Personally, I shoot better after a few. At least at concerts

    Too bad it was heading in the wrong direction, but all else looks good.

    I went out once after a little too much scotch. I had a good time laughing at my shots of empty sky. And I blamed it on my IS for what I "thought" was causing the pan lag

    Generally, I think it is best if friends don't let friends shoot while drunk


    And before anyone asks; No, we can't have a sticky thread about N/W shots taken while intoxicated! Just thinking about it makes me smile tho.

    What's a Loupe for anyway?
