Nice. Yeah that's super slow. I use a D700. I was up around 1250-1600 that weekend using a 200/2.8 @ 5.6-8 most of the time. You're arms must have been moving like you were shooting quail :D I'm trying to buy a 300/2.8, but don't want to have to sell a car to buy it :speechless-smiley-0

I want a full frame. i'd settle for a d600 but being out of work right now it aint gonna happen,lol. it would be awesome to have a fast 300mm prime lens....$$$

That's the key right there mr boat, as I taught Jason, you need to follow through, exactly like shooting a moving target with a shotgun, don't stop moving the camera once you click the shutter.
