Flying Low!

I had to pan pretty fast to try to keep up with these two, so the image might have been better.
But I am happy with it. I used a Nikon 28-300 VR with Kenko 1.4x converter.

Terrific catch with both of them in the wings-down position.
Laura Milholland29-Jan-2012 00:16
Wow, Vern! Excellent! And with the 28-300mm too! Marvelous job panning, and catching both wings down with the light coming through is wonderful. V!

Well composed, I give up on shots like this!
Marco Valk28-Jan-2012 18:31
Very nice flight image.
Digipets28-Jan-2012 17:35
Welll.......this is in fact an amazing shot, the birds are sharp and the panning gave the water some nice lines and still captured the reflection of one of the wings.
Guest 28-Jan-2012 08:46

Excellent panning work. I'm amazed that you were able to pan and get such a great result with this set-up.
Hank Vander Velde27-Jan-2012 15:21
Nice flight shot of the two. Hard to catch two in flight.
Bob Moeller27-Jan-2012 15:13
Beautiful! Can never get that clarity with a converter.
Steve Thuman27-Jan-2012 14:07

Love the straight lines of the water!
Guest 27-Jan-2012 06:33
That is an amazing catch, and considering that you're panning and using the 1.4 TC, too, it's wonderfully sharp! Beautiful photo!

Amazing that you were able to focus and track with a 1.4 TC.
