Father Ted,

Please ignore my last post. I realise that picture quality is a personal thing and I am nowhere near good enough to attempt to improve your photo. It is a lovely picture of your Son with no that much wrong with it anyway. In my opinion.

Cheers

Cheers Scott

Another nice one Scott Fair enough point re the Peregrine Falcon, however, you do have a bigger target to try and focus on

I know why you are saying you won't be using your Pentax, however, I think you should have a go at least

Ok Guys,

They are all much better photos than mine, however, Scott, Timbo, Mike-P, Oggy, Daniel and George, I was kind of hoping you might be willing to have a go at a Swallow in mid flight! If ony to show how it should/could be done Maybe you are your not up for the challenge then

Daniel, I found your one on your portfolio and it is pretty impressive

They are fast little so and sos aren't they

In the meantime, if it stops raining, I will keep on trying to improve my one, maybe my new lens will help whe I get it next week

Father Ted,

Would you mind if I had a go. I am like Amin and still trying to improve my skills in pp. It is nice to be able to have a go with and compare against otehr people's results. I am not as good as Amin though!

OK you two! I am sure you knew what sort of birds I meant

Mind you they are both nice clear, well focused shots

Martin,

I agree they are all shots to be proud of. Fantastic reflections and colours

That's a nice shot. I really like the wing detail. They are not easy are they? But satisfying when you get a nice one. Well done.

Come on Scott you are the birdman you must be able to improve on this

For one I don't think the autofocus feed is all that bad

So people say that Pentax's lack autofocusing speed. Well maybe you are right but I took this today with my K20D with my Sigma 135-400mm 1:4.5-5.6 APO DG. I would like to offer a challenge to you all to see who can take a better picture - I am sure one of you will be able to
