The first shot is a top shot! I have never seen a shot like that before. Certainly it will get lots of comments but think of how many unposted/unprintable comments there could be!! :D

Thanks, the bomb trajectory looks photogenic to me, but I wish the wing position is better...:mrgreen:

Haha... my handle came from my day job of being a concrete guy (liquid when fresh, then hardens to a stone), but you're right... there's a connection to the subect at hand...:D

"A little dab'll do ya" just doesn't have the same meaning anymore. :)

:shock:

Is this what they mean when they say a lens is TOO sharp? :lol:

On its first shakedown shoot, my 100-400 nailed a gull in flight, bombs and all. I couldn't even see the fact that the gull was, uhh, dispensing, with my own eyes.
