Taken with the D2Xs/300 VR combo Wildebeest tussling Giraffe bros rehearsing for a funniest home video moment Cheers Marc D4|D3S|D700+MB-D10| 14-24 |24-70|70-200 f/2.8 VRII|70-200 f/4 VR|80-400 AF-S|500VR|Sigma 150 f/2.8 macro|TC's 1.4,1.7E & 2.0III|SB 900
The first one is outstanding! Everything just works so well, the crop everything! Right amount of separation from the background, perfect shutter speed to give the sense of what is happening, exposure is spot on, colours compliment the scene. Brilliant!
Well done Marc!
The first one, yeah, great. Full of action, nice and sharp and great framing.
Steve.

Excellent but I think that the second would benefit from a closer crop. You must be having a great holiday Marc

The Wildebeest shot is sensational and enhanced by the crop you have applied to it. The DOF seems just right. I'm assuming it was shot at 300mm at f??.
With the second shot I would agree with Oneputt. A tighter crop would help us focus our attention on the roundhouse high kick. Cheers, Craig
Hi Craig
The Wildebeest was shot @ 300 & f/2.8 Here's a crop of the Thornycroft Giraffe bros D4|D3S|D700+MB-D10| 14-24 |24-70|70-200 f/2.8 VRII|70-200 f/4 VR|80-400 AF-S|500VR|Sigma 150 f/2.8 macro|TC's 1.4,1.7E & 2.0III|SB 900
