    Two swallows

    They don't like each other at all.

    Re: Two swallows

    Two in one shot - that's quite good!

    Manual focusing a lot I see (I assume here as well). How do you like it now? Hope it's beginning to feel like second nature (pun intended).
    Please do not edit or repost my images.

    What's a Loupe for anyway?

    Errr...sorry to disappoint you, Loupey. This one I...errr...AF'ed because I've just got the D300 :blush2:

    But, all those hummingbird shots were MF'd And MF certainly has its place. Next time if I shoot the hummingbirds the way I did, I'll still MF cuz I hate to see the lens hunt and missed the shots. If I didn't MF, I believe I would have missed those hummingbird shots I posted.

    About these two birds, they were fighting and so they were close to each other. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the fighting shot.
