Thanks Bruce.
I think on the duck shot i was in Av mode and probably iso 200(i'll have to
check at home)
so i can see
why the wings are not frozen better.
I try a number of times during the year at the farm to get these guys but it is
tough. The
" rats" are abit
easier, as are the Swans as they just waddle or float.<vbg>
Ya i'm not sure why i like the horse one either,it just appeals to me.Maybe
because he
looks so cold
and forlorn in the snow storm.??
Thanks for the comments
Dave
