Yes, they tend to be little mistrusting, unless you have several bags of bread under your arm.. now they say that you shouldn't feed the wildlife but I think, the same for kids, that bribery works wonders.. I have some eagle shots coming that bribery worked great with.. I have found that the longer lenses work well, sometimes you have to sacrifice ISO in order to get what you want, otherwise the sharpness decreases with camera shake (if you shoot at 300mm, then you need to set shutter to 1/300 or faster (unless on tripod), but if you can find a well lit situation, then patience has its rewards, as you can see here!!

The shot is great and worth the patience. The quality does not seem to suffer from the crop.

Many thanks, Marcus. For me, the series of shots from which this was taken taught me a whole lot. The UF project inspired me to go out and shoot a subject that previously had been of little interest to me, and in doing so I learnt a lot not just about photographing this particular subject, but about the subject itself.
Because of your own specialist interest, I particularly appreciate your comment and opinion on this one.

Hi AJ, I just came across this shot and was really Impressed with the beauty of it, the motion is amazing, I love the warm feel in such cold weather. I think If you could manage this pose with the 70-300 the results would be more to you liking as far as sharpness, the more frame you fill with the bird the sharper it will be, that is if there is enough lighting, I think If you bump the iso from 200 to 400 the 70-300mm would be a better choice as long as you shoot to the right a bit noise wont be an issue as you can darken a slightly bright bird without introducing noise, but not the other way around.. Really wonderful capture..

Or, you could treat yourself to a new lens, say a 105mm micro nikkor - which are quite cheap now the new version has come out - and comparatively fast!
It's amazing how they keep their heads so still when their wings are moving so fast.

I like this just as it is John. The duck is perfectly sharp while at the same time you caught the movement of the flapping wings and even the water drops coming off them. A very nice image!

AJ - The famous quote: "Better to have loved and cropped than never to have cropped at all."
That is a croppy quote.
Love the motion with the lock-still body; super job!
--Best to you, Jan

I think this one works very well A.J. Better to have to crop a little more than run the risk of cutting off body parts, I think. Cheers, Ann.

Great action shot, AJ. The answer to your question is... YES!! hahaha... I would say, if you can maintain the needed sharpness while cropping the image (as seems to be the case here) then the 18-70 seems to work very well. If you do have the light etc, the 70-300 would give you maybe a better chance to get closer in. (maybe shoot at a moderate zoom, like say 200, so that there is less danger of accidently cropping off important bodyparts!) Thank goodness for digital so one can just shoot and shoot without worry of the expense of developing film. Well done, at any rate! Cheers, Gary
