Awesome shots Jeff :clap That hummer is outstanding! Glad the new one is faring better.thanks mike A ? how do you find the camera at tracking a bif ? so far I find the 200 better but with this 8 LB manual It will take a long time to read :huh :scratch

Very nice shots, Jeff. In my opinion, the quality of the shots at high ISOs put this camera ahead of the pack. Have you tried the new object-following focus? If it works well, this seems like another great feature of this camera for bird photography.

Johnno but thanks I will look at that tonight and give it shot [:rofl shooots ] on sundays shoot .I did a fast camera set [got it thru. and left friday for La Jolla .The shots I took late on thru. --noo bifs and I was happy but on friday I was having a very hard time with the bifs so I mess with my settings and hit d lighting this one shares my feeling about NX .Thanks again for info John :thumb :ivar I wish I had some of your research
ability ,that paper you did on SS was the best I have seen :thumb

[Harryb]

Those shots look pretty good Jeff. :thumb

So far I've found the AF on the D300 to be a major improvement over the D200.

[Maestro]

Looks like you have a keeper! I really like the first one: nice color, perch and comp.

[Osprey Whisperer]

Congrats on the camera Jeff. Guess "Musketman" will have to go. :rofl I hear the weather sealing on that model is ideal for protection against pineapple juice and pizza sauce. Nice series of pics. I'd keep it...unless you want to jump ship to the other side. :D

[jwear]

Very nice Jeff :thumb (you missed the proper focus point in the last one :rofl)

Sad to hear I'm not the only one who had to send a camera back :cry Hope this one works for you. Mine new one seems to be...
no I did not :huh I was shaking thinking about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I have in this hobby :rofl good luck with yours :thumb

[jwear]

excellent series.:ivar

I'm struggling with my d300...it's mostly the exposure giving me trouble.I have really good luck with exposure --underexpose things but I have always done that with ever camera .pm me and let me know what you meen ,I have trouble with my bifs only that just makes me mad as heck .The camera has way too many settings --make sure vivid is off and most every thing is in neutral . The thing I find is that NX is the biggest bag of crap , view locks up all the time

[jwear]

Those shots look pretty good Jeff. :thumb

So far I've found the AF on the D300 to be a major improvement over the D200.if the bird is on a perch --then bam :huh but bifs :scratch next trip to bolsa that will be a test

[jwear]

Excellent Jeff! :claptrying to keep up with you :huh

[jwear]

Very, very nice Jeff, congratulations on the D300.you will have to give this one a shot or two --lots better
