Trying moving stuff

[BigAl]

I've heard so often that the Bigma is useless for moving objects - too slow. I'm now trying to prove the naysayers wrong :wink

[This is all new stuff for me. With the 350d, I never used burst mode - the new camera seems to enjoy it :D]

Al, those cattle egret shots are great! :thumb

We saw hundreds of cattle egrets at the Salton Sea this past weekend, and I didn't get any shots of them as good as yours.

Cheers,
-joelThanks Joel! These shots were taken at a breeding colony, where there were also hundreds - like your experience, the breeding colony was just too far for decent pics.

All we can do is maximize the use of the tools at our disposal,
and that's exactly what you seem to be doing Al :thumb
I concur with most here on the last shot of the Cattle Egret:clap :clap :clap
