These are the first shots taken with the 400 f/5.6 which I purchased last week from PetKal (thanks Peter). I realize they are not ducks, but were the first birds I found in the back yard! These are about 50% crops. I cant wait to practice shooting birds and thanks to everyone on the bird forum for helping me improve....I certainly can't blame the equipment any more :D
