      Thank you, Len. The problem you were having here involves your 160-600mm lens. Follow our weekly discussion about the Pros and Cons of long telephoto lenses.

  Beautiful composition. Len Exposure is spot on, Sharp where it matters most, and beautifully broken towards the background. Well done; keep up the good work.

  We’ve always enjoyed using slow shutter speeds to create impressionistic/abstract images of birds in flight. The white birds against the dark backdrop work well. However, have you tried enhancing the contrast slightly by brightening the whites and darkening the shadows just a bit more?
